[QUOTE="noel carlson, post: 360867, member: 16138"] Kelly, Neither the ZA375/7.0-W, nor the 6.5, was designed for hunting. While they are both frangible, and probably "legal", they cannot be magazine fed, nor could they be expected to penetrate in a linear fashion. More likely, you would destroy a very large amount of meat sans a perfect shot. The ZA375/6.0-W is suitable for taking game in my opinion, because it avoids both of those limitations. The Sierra seems to be right at it's design limit in an 8" twist. If your objective is to maintain compatibility with a ZA, only one question remains; Will a ZA375/6.0-W stabilize in an 8" twist. We already know the answer to that... it will. The ZA 375/6.5-W [I]may[/I] as well. We will know that prior to the Las Vegas test. Best, Noel [/QUOTE]
