[QUOTE="SLE, post: 330362, member: 3889"] I shoot both the 143 ELDXs out of a 6.5 creed and 147 ELDMs out of a 6.5 PRC. Both have done well on deer and antelope however I do notice that both work better at distance than they do at close range. With the creed and 143 Xs, it seems anything under 100 yards I get pass through and the animal is not dispatched as quickly. Beyond 200 they seem to work very well. On the PRC with 147 Ms it was just about the same expect exaggerated which I assume is due to the higher velocity. Last years deer was taken at 545 yds and it dropped in it's tracks and didn't so much as twitch a muscle. Earlier in the season I put two through the neck of an antelope at under 200 yards and it hardly phased it. At 350 yds, the 3rd shot was lights out. It's obvious the M's are going to open more quickly with the lighter case which I think can be good or bad depending on the situation but when you compare the retention data they are within a couple % points. Not sure in a hunting situation there is a noticeable difference. After using both, I have zero issues from an ethics standpoint shooting the Ms out of the PRC. [/QUOTE]
