[QUOTE="Buzzsaw, post: 1372236, member: 11047"] I have the 21" barreled version. My load is 42.2 H-4350, I'm shooting the 140 Berger Elite Hunter @ 2595fps. Very accurate at 100yrds, haven't stretched it out yet. My question, should I go for more velocity? Is 2595fps enough for deer sized game to 500yards? I shoot 42.4gr in my 26" barreled F-Class gun and get 2710fps. Also the one deer I shot, broadside hit no ribs and was a complete pass through with no signs of expansion??? Are these bullets designed for a high shoulder shot (to hit bone) to expand??? The deer laid down and after 30 minutes, I jumped him, shot him again 2 -3 inches from original shot. Looked like the impact of the second shot blew out a "clot" from the first shot. What happened guys? should I go to the Ballistic Tip for my Texas whitetails?? [/QUOTE]
