[QUOTE="EXPRESS, post: 10293, member: 1441"] 1894; I have 110HA of which 70 are arable and the rest a mix of thick brush with somemore open stuff. There are some large lakes on the southernmost edge, several rivers and a handful of springs. I can appreciate what you are saying about the terminal performance being reduced at close range, though I think at that range the velicity/energy is just barly enough to get the penetration, not a cause for actual bullet failure. It seems that at whatever rantge the bullets come apart leaving just the base to continue, when you are closed there is just more energy to drive the copper cup further in. Another bloke you may know, IanF took a young buck at 300m a few weeks ago here with my rifle, the shot placement was slightly different, but the bullet exited, not having encountered major bones. His deer made a short stumble before piling up as well, si I think a lot of this had to do with hitting that big shoulder bone first up. [/QUOTE]
