The 136 also worked great on the one antelope i shot with it.

I have some 136L's loaded for my Creed. I've not killed anything yet with that bullet.

What's the terminal performance like? As a LR bullet, I was thinking it may be a tad softer than the 139, but have not seen any reports.

They might be, IIRC they have a little less lead in them (hello Captain Obvious) in the nose, but I don’t recall if they have a thinner or thicker jacket than the 139. I have no complaints with the way it put this antelope down. However I personally decided to stick with the 139.

Hit this guy at 235 yards with the 136L, impact velocity was right around 2,600.

Hey Marty,
Who is the guy in the picture with you?

If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.
