[QUOTE="reed mosser, post: 130318, member: 1589"] I too had the same problems on deer this year with target bullets. I shot a doe at 400 yards and buck at 50 yards with the 100 grain wildcat rbbt out of my 22-243 ackley going 3300 fps. The shot at 400 yards killed her first shot but there was no bullet expansion just a quater sized hole. The same with the buck at 50 yards. I too had the same problem with 180 bergers at 3000 fps out of 7 wsms , they would just poke holes no expansion. On the other hand my i built my friend another 22-243 ackley shooting the 80 a-max at 3500 fps and the deer never took a step and the damage was impressive. The shoulder was almost not attached and had very large fragment holes through the chest. For me and the way i hunt, if it doesn't have a plastic tip i won't be using it for hunting. I love the bergers match kings wildcat bullets for punching paper but not for killing potential. This is just my experience in hunting under 700 yards. Thanks again Reed [/QUOTE]
