Daughter is trying the 147s this year. Had 100% success with the 140 vld over the years. Had poor success with the 180 ELD-M on a few critters and moved on from those in 7mm. Hoping the 147 behaves at a 2700 fps muzzle velocity. I have no issue trying the 156 in an upcoming 6.5-284 and would expect them to be as accurate and good on meat as the 140s. Or may take the easy route and just shoot the 140s in it. Rambling this am, but I like more options in bullets not fewer. And I don't have a flat bill lol.
