[QUOTE="Quicksilver338, post: 2665710, member: 108268"] 3 black bears killed with 245’s and a 300 nmi at 2960fps. First kill at 100yds dropped the bear. Didn’t bother much with dissecting it since it was almost dark and I was by myself. Second was at 576yds with trimmed meplats. Almost a fist size exit on the ribs and liquified internals. Third was at 200yds with trimmed meplats and almost had the reverse effect. Massive entrance wound and small exit wound. May go back to leaving the bullet along and not trimming. I’ve noticed trimmed meplats for longer shots are explosive and violent since I’ve done the same at 500yds with a 300gr Berger on a bear. Mine are holding 1/2 moa to 1000yds and at this time don’t have a reason to go back to Berger 215’s for my hunting load. [/QUOTE]
