[QUOTE="tankgijohn72, post: 1205766, member: 77441"] ATH, Glad to hear there's another Hoosier on the site. I'm from Richmond and hunt in warren county. I live on the east coast now, so dont get as much trigger time. I was suprised to hear they are opening it up for more rifles this year. Im very confident in my 300 win mag and have run it multiple times in the mountains past 800, and out to 1050 in more normal conditions. Trying to decide which rifle to carry. The whelen is 2 lbs less, but restricts the range a bit. The area I plan to go in CO this year is much more rugged and higher elevation than Ive previously hunted in Idaho. Barnes told me they expand well in their tests down to 1800 fps shooting into water. I really want to do some testing at lower speeds with the barnes to confirm or bust what the low end envelope is for expansion. Im interested in the terminal ballistics should the bullet not open up. I know everyone has their theories (as do I) about how a bullet will perform. But would like to see/or do some controlled testing. I think i willl have to take the 3.5 hr drive back into PA to do my testing. No place to shoot past 300 yds here. [/QUOTE]
