[QUOTE="CONatureBoy, post: 2827290, member: 118769"] I shoot the 230 OTM from my 300 RUM at 3,000 fps (28" barrel). Shot a black bear with it this spring. Back half of the jacket under the far-side hide, lead core went all the way through. Bear fell and rolled where he stood, got back up about 30 yards downhill and walked maybe 30 yards before expiring. I think it's too much bullet for a (spring) black bear or deer, but perfect for larger game (perhaps fall black bear with all its fat under the hide), especially with the high shoulder shot. [/QUOTE]
