[QUOTE="Tikka Lover, post: 207486, member: 10445"] South Africa, end of April 2008. All bullets shot clean through but the Blesbok at 400 yards, shot in the hind quarter and traveled all the way up to the chest cavity stopping just under the hide with a perfect mushroom just like the pictures always show. About three feet of penetration, not bad at 400 yards. Even the 1500lb Eland, which only ran 20 yards and fell over within 30 seconds. The PH couldn't believe it. He really liked my gun and used it to shoot several warthogs and three Blue Wildebeest, which all bullets exited on too. Not super far shots, but just wanted to share. 34" Cape Eland 200 yards 150 grain Barnes TSX [IMG]http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa140/kiittybriger/DSC00114.jpg[/IMG] 50" Cape Kudu 300 yards 150 grain Barnes TSX [IMG]http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa140/kiittybriger/DSC00094.jpg[/IMG] 40" Gemsbok 200 yards 150 grain Barnes TSX [IMG]http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa140/kiittybriger/DSC00102.jpg[/IMG] 24" Impala 250 yards 150 grain Barnes TSX [IMG]http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa140/kiittybriger/DSC00133.jpg[/IMG] 15" Blesbok 400 yards 150 grain Barnes TSX [IMG]http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa140/kiittybriger/DSC00109.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
