[QUOTE="Crusty Buck, post: 721721, member: 44282"] Backwoods83, Can we say overkill:). I shot a big Doe 90 yards away last Saturday with the 300 @ 3150 fps and 150 grain SST's: Lights Out!. I have also shot deer at 350 yards with a 7X57, 139 interlocks: knocked her off her feet and she died by the time I walked to her. Big Buck in Colorado with 32 Win SpL 170 grain at 150 yards. First shot downed it, but had to watch it die. I have shot a number deer with 12 ga slugs at 30-125 yards and have had mixed results, all collected, but some ran 60 yards or more. So what's the moral of the story? Every animal has it's own resistance to lead poisoning. I totally agree that the 6.5-284, with it's very good sectional density, will do the same, or nearly the same as the 30's. My reservation is the heavy lead used for big bear. I'm not sure the the 140 grain 6.5's will do the same thing as 220 grain .308 in a 300 win mag. on big bear. Any animal smaller than that, I'm in full agreement with you. Logging off for the evening.
