[QUOTE="joe0121, post: 574827, member: 26058"] What twist is your tube? I shot an old farm building at about 1600 yards with a 208gr Amax and it mushroomed the first 1/8 of the bullet and the polymer tip was gone. bullet passed through a 2X4, a piece of 1/4 inch siding traveled 10 feet hit a 8X8 support bounced off and landed 8 feet back. I'm pushing mine a tad under 2900 FPS in a 1/10 twist tube. The Berger I have shot at hard targets like old propane cylinders etc retain their weight at least the ones I dig out of the berm. This is at 300 yards. Only thing I can think is the jacket coming off, or the bullet becoming un stable and tumbling into the animal. [/QUOTE]
