[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 247345, member: 8"] Eddie I think that pretty much sums the situation up. Remember this, that it is your own reputation for honesty and integrity gets put on the line. It is not hard to get good pictures that allow the individual to make their own decision. Have a good trip and have some fun and get us some "reliable" pictures. One other thing to consider is that different animals have different density bones and thickness of hide, hair and so forth, so the wound channel will be a little different on different species. Here is a picture of an antelope exit wound at 200 yards with the 115 Berger and the same rifle and load on a whitetail deer at 250 yards. Notice that there is not really much difference in bullet strike but a large difference in exit wound size. From my experience with the Berger on antelope the exit wound stays about 2 inches from 150 yards all the way out to 1140 yards. That to me is constant performance over a wide variety of ranges and that is because an antelope just does not have the density and mass to challenge a bullet's performance. A deer is more of a challenge to the bullet.
