[QUOTE="LeddSlinger, post: 2036411, member: 65338"] All 3 bucks I killed with the 220gr were complete pass through shots with total carnage internally. Very little meat lost due to bloodshot and damage compared to the 215gr The 220gr are tipped so they have a smaller hollow point tip. My muzzle velocity is 3175 fps from a 300 Norma Mag Improved, but the impact velocities were much less at 370, 650, and 840. The buck at 370 yards had the smallest entrance hole, was actually really hard to find on the left front shoulder where it entered. Absolutely zero meat damage to that shoulder. Exit was about the size of a golf ball with big chunks of lung blown completely out of the chest cavity. Meat was salvageable after about a 3” diameter circle around the exit hole. Shots at 650 and 840 had larger entrance holes about the size of a dime. But exit holes were about the same size. [/QUOTE]
