[QUOTE="Hespco, post: 1940412, member: 109476"] A 143 gr Hammer from a 280 @ 3000 to 3100 fps has oodles of penetration & ought to take two elk side by side. A 143 gr mono 7mm on deer is like using a hammer to squash a fly. My experience has shown a 6.5 100gr mono like the Barnes will completely penetrate both front shoulders of a 200 + lb muley out to 300 yds , no problem... Inside of 500yds consider a mono for a 7mm of about 120grs @ 3100 + fps most likely more. . I believe if you tried it you would be surprised. When using the mono's you have to forget everything you know about lead core bullets. I see it as requiring a new understanding of bullet flight & performance on game. They are a new understanding & open up a new fun experience. [/QUOTE]
