Those american whitetail have softpoints if I'm not mistaken and are probably moving somewhere around 2800-2850 fps. At 150yds they are expanding violently and probably wouldn't have much left to exit.
I load my own ammo so, I'm shooting a little faster than factory.
I've shot 1 deer with 143 eld-x and it was a DRT on a shot that was a little too far back. Bullet left an amazing wound channel and exited.
I've switched to Berger 140gr VLD hunting and will be using them to hunt but also longer range F-class matches. I'm pushing them around 2840-2850 in my gun.
Haven't shot a deer with them yet but for F-class I'm getting around 0.3 moa with them at 600yds
