[QUOTE="whirlwindjml, post: 3044403, member: 19793"] On the creedmoor I shot the 143 eldx for years. It makes a nice big hole the tip explodes but the core drives through the animal. Personally I feel like it's about 550 yards although I've seen it pushed farther and it still did expand well. On the 26nosler I shoot a 156 Berger. The berger is quite explosive though. Both of them have a bigger wound channel then the bullets that the fish and game restricts for use during the muzzleload season here in Idaho. Talk about low energy. If people think using a 6.5 is wrong and the ethics are questioned then they really should go talk to the fish and game here about the muzzleload season. Because that's where I see people having hardest time killing things. [/QUOTE]
