[QUOTE="CliffM, post: 442425, member: 11533"] Just to expound a little on the reference bigngreen made about the 210, .308 bullet. They were shot from a 300Wby at 2950 fps. at something over 300yds. That was the self imposed minimum after seeing the results of shooting into a barrel or water at 200yds. It looked something like coarse sand. Two deer were shot, each one taking two bullets to get the job done. The first one I simply flinched and took the rear wheel off at the hock, followup shot penciled straight though. Second one was about the same distance as the first but a bit better hit.It went down instantly, so we went back to the pickup to get the sled to drag it out. When we returned there was no deer there. After following the tracks around through some rocks I spotted it making a get away on the opposite hillside. As it stopped to look back before going over the top of the hill it turned broadside and I could see a crater on the exit side shoulder bid enough to see the shoulder blade move when it took a step. One behind the ear finished that one and it took some doing to find the bullet hole. While I'm not ready to give up on them it appears that there may be a rather narrow range that they may work well in, such as elk.YMMV Cliff [/QUOTE]
