[QUOTE="Bad Company, post: 1126437, member: 89980"] Just want to share a recent experience: I respectfully devastated this 675 lb 8 yr old 6x6 bull in his tracks Sunday night. The distance at 230 yards wasn't impressive but the performance of the .277 165 gr Matrix VLD sure was. There are concerns with bullet "blow up" at close range with frangible bullets BUT it is hard to argue with sectional density of .307. The bullet entered a little high, exploding a rib, liquifying the top portion of the lungs and erasing the spinal cord. The bullet cluster basically went off like a soft ball sized grenade inside the chest cavity...no formal exit wound except for several small fragments. I shoot these bullets because they expand great at low velocity/long range...from there they expand like a bonded bullet or copper bullet expands at high velocity...both of those products seem to pin hole at low velocity. Rem 700 .270 Win 1:10 24" #5 Douglas Barrel HS Stock, Timney Trigger 2840 FPS with H1000 Is stability as "perfect" as it could be with a 1:9 twist? I couldnt care less; I am getting a .310 G7 BC and less than .30 MOA at 850 yards. All from a 9 lb total rifle package that recoils like Obama punches. [/QUOTE]
