[QUOTE="Mc Fraser, post: 2355235, member: 106529"] If you're chasing MV for a hunting rifle, IMHO you're doing it wrong. Mono's are notorious for going through game at high speeds without doing much damage or fragment. I have a 300 PRC shooting 214 HH at 2980 and I'm thinking to slow it down a bit. I shot a cow elk at 700 yds and the bullet went through. The exit hole was about half of an inch. I hit the lungs and it didn't really do much damage except the holes. From the same rifle I shot 212 ELDX 600 yds cow elk and it obliterated everything in the chest cavity. Lungs were just mush. I do like mono's but shot placement and experience is key for an ethical shot. I hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
