Very true.

I've been hunting with the 147ELD for the last couple years and been very happy with its performance on deer and elk.

But this year I got to witness a friend shooting his Alberta WT buck with the 127LRX. ~100 meters, maybe a little under. Shot #1, full frontal. Penetrated stem to stern, left a ~2" exit just above the tail. Deer went down hard, spinning 180, but was making some noise about getting up. So the hunter put shot #2 stern to stem- broke several ribs, passed thru/along the spine/busted front shoulder and came to rest against the skin. Bullet looked like it came out of a Barnes promotion piece. I'll have to put a picture up.

I'm going to try out the 127 for myself next year. wink


I’m glad I don’t have to field dress that one!!


Camp is where you make it.
