[QUOTE="rjmarine, post: 872432, member: 30201"] montanarifleman brings up a very good point. this is why i always test my bullets in wet phone books to see just how they will perform in the given rifle and the speeds i will be bushing them. i start my testing at 25 yrds then i can move my testing phone book holder to any given yardage from 25 yrds to 600 yrds. i much rather do my own testing over reading what some computer tells me they will do. im kinda funny that way. after testing many brands of bullets in many different wts. i can tell you that all of them work the way they tell you they will. some are much better then other for some rifles and the speed they will be shot at for hunting. a cpl yrs ago we had a guy come over to do some testing with us and he had his big 300 super mag he used just the yr before to take an elk with. it did take 2 shots he said but the elk did go down. well he shot that same load he used on the elk into our phone book test stand and they went all of 9" . he did not try them at any other range so that is all i have for that load he shot. the bullet opened up and come apart at the 25 yrd mark so this would not be my 1st choice for a load in that rifle for hunting elk in western montana where your shots can range from 20 yrds to well over 600 i then shot my little 25x47 into a new set of wet phone books loaded with 80gr TTSX and they went 12 " into the books and the bullet looked just like they show it does after shooting it into there test media. now i am not saying in any way that his 300 super mag will not work again on elk with that same load but maybe next time the shot will be at a much less forgiving angle and those bullets do not do there job. i like to go into the hunt with as many plus's in my favor as i can . i hate tracking wounded game .
