[QUOTE="jamiebolseth, post: 1755201, member: 88495"] This surprises me. I shot a fairly big mulie buck with a short barrelled 300 WSM and the 178 ELDx (2900 FPS) this year. He was moving almost straight away at 475yds and I needed to shoot, or let him go over the hill. I was confident I could hit him, but had to shoot hind quarter, so I was glad I'd brought the 300 WSM. The bullet went in one hind quarter, broken the pelvis, continued forward and broke the spine about half way up his body, and exited behind his off shoulder (so no bullet recovery). My hunting buddy also used my rifle to shoot his buck at 165 yds, and got a full penetration on two shots. One through the ribs, and another through one shoulder. I was pretty impressed with that penetration, but I guess more data is needed. Thanks for the info. [/QUOTE]
