Having shot tons of 140gr eld match bullets, I'd pick the 139 scenar over it. The 140 is pretty thin skinned and comes apart pretty easily. I know guys use the 147 with good success, but they use the same jacket thickness as the 140. Will they kill? Absolutely, but you are going to have a lot of lead fragments in the meat. The choice is yours. A 143 ELDX will hold together better than either of the ELDM pills you mention.
What constitutes "tons". How many game animals were in that mix? Impact velocities? I've killed a few deer with the lighter weight variety and they held together better than I expected.
