[QUOTE="JCM, post: 167501, member: 8623"] Muzzle velocity was 3010fps, impact velocity was around 2350fps. 1st shot was just below the neck in the chest (animal was quatering towards me) 2nd shot was same range broadside in the shoulder, (yes, animal was still standing) animal ran into dense bush and I had to track it for 50 yards and final shot was at 10 yards as it was lying down. then I couldent believe it the deer jumped up and ran 10 more yards! fell over and I ended up cutting its throat. So after this unfortunate episode I decided I wont use match bullets for big game anymore. Its a shame because this bullet was accurate in my rifle to. I have also shot 50 pound goats at 30 yards with this load, entrance hole was bullet size and bullet blew up under the skin and left a 6 inch exit wound. This bullet is very explosive. from my experience with it. hope this helps [/QUOTE]
