[QUOTE="chucknbach, post: 576643, member: 35487"] I use an 87gn berger VLD, my cut off is 650. This year a complete pass trough the meat on the front shoulder than both lungs leaving a 50ct piece size exit at 550yds. Shattered the spine on another at 400. This one was butt twards me, facing away, head up a steep slope. I hit him a little lower than I wanted to. strait on in the spine just in front of the hind quarters. It took very little trimming. Had I shot him with my 7RM I'd have lost half the HQ's and back straps. through the skull at 320 These are all antelope, haven't shot a dear with it this year. I would probably bring in the yardage a little for muleys. Antelope and deer are small so I don't like giving up any meat If you go by the recomended energy 1000ftlbs my load runs out at 400yds. Hope my limited experience with the round helps. No it's not just a women's or kid's gun. [/QUOTE]
