[QUOTE="Kurtr, post: 90691, member: 194"] It depends if i get all the 140 shot i will use the 143 eld-x. With the sectional density of the 6.5 and results friends have had on elk i am more worried about finding one than how the bullet will perform. My rifle is right around 12 pounds and shooting little bullets so i am pretty much going against conventional wisdom but i am confident when i pull the trigger on that thing stuff dies. I have yet to find a bullet on any of the deer i have shot (not really a fair comparison) even the muley at 587 this year and busted the off shoulder. Hitting the shoulder at 50 yards is a worry but i guess i will tackle that if the situation should arise. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] If i was buying a new rifle i shot a freinds 7 stw and it was rather enjoyable or maybe a 28 nosler or i would stick to the 6.5 and go saum 1000 ft lbs at 1000 yds and under 10 mills with the 140 is very interesting [/QUOTE]
