[QUOTE="Catskills, post: 2670659, member: 106302"] These things shoot really well in my T3X 270WSM at a chronographed 3200fps. However, of the three deer I’ve harvested with this combination, 2 did not exit even though range was 250-275yds. While one was a huge bodied mule deer, the second was a 200lb whitetail shot through both heavy shoulder joints. In my experience, partitions would have blown through as would Hornady Interlocs. Expansion was enthusiastic but retained weight was 59g or 42%. Is it unfair to expect more retained weight at an impact velocity of 2700fps? This performance tells me a closer shot could be trouble if heavy bone was encountered. To be fair, the third deer, which was shot at 360yds, created a text book wound cavity with a racquet ball sized exit on a quartering away shot that busted up the far shoulder. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
