[QUOTE="SavageShtr, post: 855232, member: 15118"] I was using the 140gr hybrid in my 6.5x47 Lapua this summer on groundhogs. I shot one at 425 yards through the chest and it floped around in its hole and then disappeared. After checking the hole there was no blood I thought I missed but upon review of the video I clearly hit it in the chest. I would post the video but it wasn't the best. I did then shoot another one at about 60 yards out of frustration and the exit hole was only about 1.5" not too impressive. It could just be the thin skin and small size of the animal but non the less I will be switching to the 140gr hunting VLD with a very close BC and should have similar trajectory. [/QUOTE]
