[QUOTE="Raudy707, post: 2778482, member: 105681"] I've heard of this kinda stuff happening. Any idea when it was? Recently? When they were first released? My son shot a mule deer buck with my 280 AI using those 150 grain ABLR and it was moving zig zagging through the sage. He absolutely t-boned the humerus bone right at the big knuckle with the radius and ulnar transition. It hit with a whopp like I knew exactly where it hit and immediately thought oh no this bullet is going to grenade. These are stepping out of my rifle quick like 3050 fps and the shot was maybe 180 yds. The buck went down immediately. When we walked up you could see the impact shoulder was mush. Much to my surprise it went through the heart and passed through the other shoulder bone with a silver dollar sized exit. When we skinned it bone fragments were falling out all over and the surface blood shot was messy like he was hit by a car. Using the knife like a straight razor most of it shaved off and the main shoulder meat was fine. I don't know if we just got lucky or what? It was bad for sure but no worse than a eld-x or Berger and it was devastatingly lethal. I was going to sell all that ammo as I have 5 boxes for the 280 AI but after that I experience I figured it couldn't get any worse so I kept them. 😅 The neck shot sounds pretty terrible especially at 400 yds. That's down right pathetic to splash like that. [/QUOTE]
