[QUOTE="dasbear, post: 1090052, member: 26769"] Not sure if anyone is still following this thread but this is just my experience. I shoot a TC encore in 308AI 15" barrel Hornady 180gr fb @ 2450 fps. First bear I shot at 75yds hit left shoulder out behind right shoulder absolutely lights out. Second bear 35-40 yards hit right shoulder absolutely lights out again but this time NO exit NO blood the bullet hit heavy bone and fragmented now I cant really complain because I still didn't loose much of the shoulder but I was very shocked that there wasn't enough mass left to exit. I have never liked the idea of spending 50.00 for a box of bullets but will entertain that option now. The real exspense comes from all of the load development. [/QUOTE]
