[QUOTE="Dave King, post: 30077, member: 3"] I've shot a few crop damage deer with the 300's outta the 338 RUM I had and did not recover any bullets. Ranges varied from 100 yards or so to 400-450. Brent's correct about having a good backstop, they don't like to stop and the deer can't seem to tell the difference between a 100 yard hit and a 400 yard hit. Only one a recall recovering was from a moose shot at 439, still facing the proper direction and mushroomed nicely. It's a pretty big bullet, might be easier for the deer to swap ends as the bullet passes through than for the bullet to swap ends [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] .
