[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1612618, member: 87243"] Yup. I had less than stellar performance with the 147 eld-m, mainly inconsistency. However, that doesnt meat the 140 eld-m wouldn't work. I cannot say, I didn't try it. The jacket may be different enough to change the dynamic. I ran the 147 through the paces pretty well I felt, including a 6x6 bull elk at over 800 yds, a cow elk at over 700 yds, a pronghorn buck at 850, and another pronghorn buck at 980 yds. Also with a shot or two under 200 yds, I would have tested the limits of any bullet. Total it was something like 14 critters killed with them this last season, mostly pronghorn with a couple mule deer and elk. To me, the 147 just didn't perform as well as the 140 Berger on game. Accuracy and trajectory were phenomenal however, I was really wanting to see better results. [/QUOTE]
