[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1316762, member: 87243"] There are alot of dead deer and elk that would say differently. I have killed several animals with these with impact velocities over 2700 fps, and all had exits. And if you expand that beyond the 140 vld, even more. How about a large cow elk shot at 40 yards with a 168 vld hunting going 3070 fps at the muzzle? Shoulder hit, 2" exit hole. Bigngreen has alot of knowledge with the use of these bullets, your disagreeing with the wrong guy. And I'm pretty sure he can tell the difference between orange and yellow. The 140 is a good all range killing bullet. As with any bullet, make a good shot placement and the animal will die, quickly. The only thing I would say against this bullet when compared with others, is that it can be hard on meat and hides, but to me, the accuracy and killing efficiency of it overrides the extra lb or two of meat I may loose. Just my opinion. There are other good bullets, but it's gonna be hard to beat all the benefits of this one in a 6.5 [/QUOTE]
