[QUOTE="DENWA, post: 266858, member: 12492"] Just think, somewhere there is a guy talking about his 30-30 (that fires a 170gr flat point at 2,100fps) that has killed a 100 deer out past 300 yds. And he probably thinks we are crazy. Two years ago in Texas I shot a nice deer at 417yds with a ballistic tip. The wind was stronger than I had doped and moved the impact into the rear ham. I never recovered a piece of that bullet larger than a grain of salt and the wound channel stoped within <3 inches. A Second shot was necessary when he returned to his feet. Realizing my mistake I held off my reticle a half dot. This bullet impacted the rear of shoulder and I did recover part of the Jacket but not much else. The front sholder looked like a shotgun with #9 shot at close range...Blood jello. I have sworn off ballitic tips for any animal larger than a dog. [/QUOTE]
