[QUOTE="Kerryt38, post: 2686955, member: 79662"] This is a 140 eldm recovered from the off shoulder inside of the hide of my wife’s mule deer that she shot at 240 yards. It still weighs 81 Gr. Muzzle velocity is 2880 fps. It went through the shoulder on the entrance side and still mostly stayed together. Deer was laying down and never moved. Don’t have pictures of the wound. The deer pictured is my mule deer shot at 160 yards while it was walking took 5 more steps. You can see that it was a pass through just clipped the top of the heart. Exit hole is in the picture. 3 years ago we both shot mules with the same bullet and recovered the bullet inside the hide on both of them. Mine was shot at 60 yards and my wife’s was shot at 600 yards. Muzzle velocity was 2908 fps. Each year we shared the rifle. On deer sized and smaller I don’t think you are going to have any issues hitting bone on the way in with a 140 ELDM. They were all big body deer. My kids have shot several whitetail deer with 123 Amax that I have loaded down to 2850fps. They have done really well out to 440 yards but do go a bit farther than when shot with the 140s. [/QUOTE]
