[QUOTE="Imperial Bull, post: 1819036, member: 35443"] The 150 yard shot was on a 300+ lb black bear. The shot was slight quartering away, went in behind near shoulder and broke off shoulder, exiting the animal. Found a couple fragments in off shoulder, lungs were a mess. He turned downhill, ran approximately 30 yards and died. One other bear made it a few yards before collapsing, everything else didn't go anywhere, 2 animals being big bodied bulls in the 320" range. I forgot about a good blacktail buck at 40 yards, but that's not a real great test as they aren't that big body wise. Regardless, it was an instant kill, with no heavy bone hit, an extreme amount of internal damage, and mass of bullet exited. The reason I went with the 250 was to keep it a repeater and a little less recoil to help stay on target. To be honest I am curious to see what it will do on heavy bone under 100 yards, both nothing as of yet has shown me any concern. Hope that's a little help. [/QUOTE]
