[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 733406, member: 5219"] I used the 300 gr OTM tactical (non hunting) version on this year's coues wt hunt. It is a long throated 338 RCM with a 1 in 9 twist 30" barrel. Starting velocity is a mundane 2550 fps. Impact vel was 2244 fps. He was bedded so I shot through him at an angle behind the shoulder and it exited between the thighs nicking one very slightly. He stood up after the shot and staggered downhill trying to make it to the bottom of the wash. This time he presented a broadside shot so I put the second behind the shoulders. He expired right away. I knew this bullet would kill such a small deer even if it didn't expand. Both bullets expanded slightly with approx triple caliber diameter exits. The best feature with this package is the low velocity not damaging the meat. All meat was clean with no blood shot areas. Can't say that for my 257 weatherby shooting 115 VLDs! Now that the hunting version is available I will switch to it next year for more expansion. [/QUOTE]
