[QUOTE="bpcrshooter, post: 1355679, member: 100251"] Yes I have, They work very well but, I use the Hornady 405 interlock for the 1/2in bigger group size @100yrds its doesnt matter on large game. you have to ask yourself "how far am I willing to shoot?" lighter bullets will give you flatter shot but not be accurate at long (250+yrds) range, not enough length/weight. your barrel is probably 1-18 twist or so and keeping those light bullets spinning is hard at distance. For the extra recoil I choose the 405 and up for "large" big game, deer that's a different story 300/350's work great (I hunt in woods and dont shoot much past 100yrds). The cartridge was not meant as a speed demon it was meant to do massive damage and shoot long range. Plenty, hell thousands of bull buffalo were killed at 1100-1300fps with a 500gr bullet. FWIW....I would rather shoot a 500gr at 1300/1400 than shoot a 300 at 1900fps. My 541gr 20-1 lead bullets open up to .997in and pass thru 6gal jugs of water, that enuf for me!!! Speer makes a good bullet as well, but for me hornady has never failed [/QUOTE]
