[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 570993, member: 22335"] Just got back from a TX whitetail hunt. My hunting partner took a nice 8 point at 308 yards using Hornady GMX in his rifle. It penetrated the full length of the deer (head-on shot while it was bedded) and came out just in front of the right hip. Deer just slumped over when it was hit. It did a great job by our standards. Just be careful of practical range with regard to expension. The "rule" is 2000fps at time of impact, which is over 500 yards with his rifle and probably similar for yours. Allegedly the monolithic bullets don't expand so well below that number. [/QUOTE]
