[QUOTE="SnakeRiverEric, post: 1519929, member: 68027"] I run the 124HH in my 6.5Creeds using 41.6gr RL16. Very accurate and fast 2800+fps. Shot 2 antelope with them and one broke the scapula and deflected down body and exited out the ham. This past week I shot 2 mature cow elk with them at 315-325 yard range, all shots were pass thru's, one hit the shoulder and broke the leg bone and deflected entire length of body and exited ham. It took multiple shots to bring both elk down and I had to walk up to one and put it down. In my opinion the 124 is probably too light for elk sized game. No issue with penetration, just a small wound channel with a larger strong animal. I have no issue using it with deer sized or smaller game. [/QUOTE]
