[QUOTE="sambo3006, post: 2957975, member: 2740"] I just shot a whitetail buck at about 60 yards with a 90 gr Absolute Hammer at 3800 fps from my .257 Weatherby mag. Quartering away shot. Shredded the lungs and destroyed the top of the heart. Exit was on the front of the opposite shoulder but did not hit the shoulder bone. The exit wound was small. There was another hole in the far side rib cage, most likely from a petal that did not exit the hide. 30 yard blood trail was not extreme but was easy to follow. A cup and core probably would not have held up at that velocity, and internal damage was substantially more than I've gotten with Barnes TTSX, Nosler E tip, and Hornady GMX bullets. I'm quite pleased with the performance. [/QUOTE]
