[QUOTE="Petras, post: 264846, member: 216"] Odd, my wife shot a muledeer buck right behind the shoulder 2 years ago with her 6.5 using 143 eld-x and when we opened it up the chest cavity looked like soup.... only took one shot and he was dead on the spot. One of my co-workers had the exact same experience with his son and a youth tag last year using the same bullet. Are there better choices out there? Sure, but the 6.5 will definitely do the trick. I personally shoot a 7mm mag and load 168 berger vld hunters and have had very good performance out of them. Wife drew here ND Elk tag for E3 so if I have time this summer I'm going to see if I can get a berger to shoot well out of the 6.5. If not, I have no worries at all about using the 143 eld-x [/QUOTE]
