[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 1513498, member: 94491"] Actually no, the closer you are the less chance a cup/core bullet has of penetration. if you dont likethe bullets performance then try a different one. Also look at the energy the bullet has, when hunting with a 300bo pistol you are in the realm of other pistol energy so you should take your shots like you would with any other pistol. The 300bo is not for everyone, but it works for some. Guys with big calibers and fragmenting bullets dont get complete penetration at close ranges either. The 6.8spc or 6.5g definately have more energy than a 300bo, but make sure you choose your bullet construction wisely with those also ..I have several 6.8's and there are some bullets I would never hunt with even though they are claimed as hunting rounds. The 150 deerseason xp claims a "massive bullet impact performance, with rapid expanding tip" -- that tells me it was designed to fragment on impact and you may not see full penetration [/QUOTE]
