[QUOTE=".257Bobcat, post: 2429220, member: 91574"] Adding to above RT2506 8/21/2010 comment; I shot a doe at 100 yards this year with a .240 Wby using factory 100gr Nosler Partition. The deer was feeding, unaware of my presence and quartering away. The bullet entered high just behind he shoulder and exploded in the spine. The deer dropped but I was concerned the bullet did not penetrate further. What if the deer had been a larger rutted up buck aware of my presence amped up with adrenalin. in comparison, I shot another doe broadside at 50 yards with a 6mm Remington 95 gr Hornady Superformance round. The bullet broke the entrance shoulder, destroyed the lungs, took off the top of the heart and exited. The deer ran 15’. As a result I have ordered 95 gr Hornady SSTs to load for my .240. [/QUOTE]
