[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 914282, member: 10291"] Having shot about 25 deer and antelope I have found that the high sectional density of the bullet will give complete penetration on broadside chest shots with good internal damage from 50-100 yards. The key for close range shots is to keep the muzzle velocity under 3000FPS. If the velocities are driven much higher the bullet can come apart on close range shoulder/bone impacts. Overall, I think it is one of the best balanced mid caliber bullets available. The key is to use the "hunting" version. IMO. [/QUOTE]
