[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1363910, member: 8873"] An update on the 375 grainers: I shot a whitetail buck @ 430 yards yesterday evening. He was facing me slight quarter to my right. Almost got it on film, he walked out of frame when I was getting behind the rifle.:rolleyes: Needless to say he dropped in his tracks, so hard that he bounced. I guess that’s what should be expected with a 375 grain “soft” bullet & 2600fps/5650fpe on a hard impact. It was absolute carnage! Tore a hole about 5-6”” wide and 12-15” deep, almost took the shoulder completely off. This is what folks would expect a chambering of this size to do. This is an example of the ol’ “You will blow a deer in half!” type of speech comes from. I will not be shooting deer but behind the shoulder with these unless the range is really long. When skinning I found a severely mangled piece of the bullet about 150 grains worth. Can’t find it, it was dark and I think my dog ate it.:rolleyes: Cant seem to imbed a video. Not gonna post pictures as it may pee some folks off. [/QUOTE]
