[QUOTE="sambo3006, post: 339060, member: 2740"] Nothing long but I killed a whitetail doe quartering away at 175 yds with a Sierra 140 gr SBT mv 3200 fps. Bullet entered right at the back of the ribcage and penetrated through the ribs on the offside shoulder and made a golfball diameter hole in the off shoulder. Bullet was not in this hole, I'm assuming it fell back into the chest cavity. This doe dressed probably 50-55 lbs and I would have expected an exit with that bullet. Deer only ran about 30 yds but I wonder what performance would have been like on a much larger deer. I have an 8 twist barrel put back for a future build, thinking a 30" 264 mag and will probably use the 140 gr Berger or JLK VLD for deer size game. I too am curious about long range performance results of this type of bullet. [/QUOTE]
