[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1406125, member: 8873"] Posted this info a couple months back on another thread but here ya go: I ran the 375 grain out of my 10” twist .375 Snipetac @ 3125 fps (I believe) and had GREAT accuracy out past 800. The three groups I fired at 800 averaged 1/4 moa. Shot it past 1300 in Colorado on rocks but didn’t get an elk. So back home I smacked a whitetail buck at over 400 yards with a quartering to shot that impacted right at the front shoulder/neck junction. About took the shoulder and leg off. Left a hole I could run my fist into and penetrated a little over a foot. The bullet came apart, only found one piece that may have been 150 grains. Sent Dale the pictures and described the shot. He said he may need to make the jackets thicker. I told him that I use this rifle for really long range hunting and don’t doubt the bullets would expand at the lower velocity associated with those long ranges...don’t touch anything. I just needed to kill something with it, it won’t be used at those “close” distances again. [/QUOTE]
