[QUOTE="Creedmoor shooter, post: 2946558, member: 72601"] Add 2 more to the kill list of the 140 eld-m. Both shots were under 100 yards and both fired from 6.5 creeds. My son killed his 2nd deer ever last week with his 6.5 creed and the 140 eldm traveling at 2684fps. Impact was 90 yards. I saw the fur ripple in my binos and i originally thought it was a solid it but we found out later that was not the case. He hit a little low and back (nerves I guess) and so the deer was gut/liver shot. The doe took a couple bounds into the woods a stopped. It was just standing there so unsure of how hard it was hit and this being the last chance for him to shoot again I told him shoot her right in the butt because we need her to go down. Normally I wouldn't do this but there's no way my 8 year old was going to make a hit an a deer moving through the woods if she decided to take off. Anyway he smoked her right in the rear and that put her down for good. Bullet broke the the hip joint, blew through and traveled up the cavity leaving lead fragments along the way. What complete devastation. His first shot tore the liver up and left a golf ball sized exit out the back.

Hit the entry shoulder. By the time it hit the rib cage the hole entering the cavity was the size of a gold ball or more. It tore through the top of the heart/lungs and I assume what was the base exited out the other side as the exit hole wasn't much bigger than a dime.
