Is that in one of your Savages or what sort of rifle? The Hornady Black HPBT 140gr have performed well for me also. Academy recently had them on sale for $15 a box last week I think it was.

mman 8 point M Joined: Jan 2011 Posts: 1,361	In the past 2 years I’ve killed 8 deer with a 6.5 and have used the 143 gr ELD-X. 7 have dropped in their tracks and one ran about 50 yards. Most where shot behind the shoulder. 5 were bucks and the heaviest weighed 187 lbs. I am extremely impressed with these bullets. This past summer, I shot just under a .5 MOA with these.
