[QUOTE="Hoss50, post: 2330589, member: 109801"] Barnes or Hammers for under 500 yard hunting at RUM speeds for me. You need something stout to stay together at the speeds a RUM pushes, at least at closer ranges. I am loading 168gr Barnes TTSX in a 300 weatherby. I shot my cow elk at about 70 yards this year. Impact velocity was probably about 3100fps. It trucked right through. She went maybe 40 yards and piled up. I found 1 of the nose pellets in the exit hole area. My buddy shot a similar size cow at a similar range with his 308 shooting the barnes 165gr TTSX. Impact would have been about 2375fps. Same results. Trucked right through leaving an exit. She dropped on the spot. [/QUOTE]
