[QUOTE="Catskills, post: 2969264, member: 106302"] I thought I’d update experience with this bullet. I took a 5pt bull at 466 yds this fall, hitting it twice. The first went through both scapulas. At this range, I neither heard nor saw any evidence of impact. The second shot hit lower in the chest and breaking the off shoulder above the elbow. This shot visibly rocked the bull which walked 15 yds and piled up. Because the gutless method was used, we only recovered one bullet. It weighed 96.6 grains or 69% of its original weight. This was at a impact velocity of 2275fps. i also shot a 185lb whitetai breaking the off shoulder at 220yds. The bullet exited. The buck ran 30yds leaving a heavy blood trail. i continue to be a real fan of this round and am coming to better understand this bullet’s limitations. I would not want to have to break the knuckle at close range on a mature bull at close range. Still, it is deadly. One thing I’m certain of is I would not want these to be any softer. [/QUOTE]
