[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 30880, member: 1007"] Ian, would it be possible to extend the effective range in 308 to 800 yards on deer size game by using a more less sturdy bullet? I will be trying some AMAX's this season and hope to test this out. Hopfully at 800. I have seen some come out of a sand bank that were pretty "shroomed" he he he he! I use to use the 150 nosler ballistic tip and quite after 1 season. I shot a small dall ram at 275 yards with it. MV was 3100 FPS, altitude was 4500' and a warm day. In other words that bullet was smoking when it hit him. I hit him square in the shoulder blade. The bullet exited through the oposite sholder blade. It was a .30 cal hole. I lost alot of meat on the impact shoulder and nothing on the exit. I went to SMK's and started blowing tenis ball size holes out the other side. Bone impact or not. I want to try accubonds and AMAXs next. [/QUOTE]
