[QUOTE="aebhunter, post: 1365182, member: 72979"] I used the 135 grain berger classic hunter on a couple cow elk last year. Weren't really long range endeavours per se (300-350 yards) but worked just fine. Shot placement was behind the shoulder with my 6.5 creedmoor at about 2800 fps. Both elk absorbed the shot and then ran about 20 yards and tipped over. That being said, I am going to try the 140 ELD-M this year and see how she does. I have had very good success with 215 hybrids out of my .300 win mag, anxious to see a "target bullet" from the Hornady camp in action. [/QUOTE]
