[QUOTE="loonie, post: 1406933, member: 59678"] I agree with Alex that the 195 not a good hunting bullet. I shot a broadside cow behind the shoulder with 7 Saum @ 300 yards and see didn't even flinch! Put another one behind her other shoulder and again, no reaction. Just stood there. Neck shot to put her down, no exits and no blood but could see where bullet went in. Friend lung shot one later with his 7 wsm 450 yards on a late hunt that that ran off like nothing happened. Got on snowmobile and found her laying down 1/2 mile away with her head still up. Had to finish her off. Watched my brother drill one at 420 with his 7 WSM, and again no reaction. Shot her again. Same thing. Walked in to a thicket and laid down for a bit then got up and ran around the mountain like nothing happened. No blood. Baffles me how a bullet with 3900 ft lbs of enegy can work so bad. Seen several deer hit with no reaction that should of dropped! Friend had to shoot a bull 3x this year before it would go down at 300 yards. And the same gun nicked a shoulder last year on a cow that did go down, but the shoulders were a blood shot jello mess !! And that not all. I banning them in my hunting party. They do shoot awesome on long range steel. I might shoot the rest of mine up on p dogs.. Berger did offer to replace my brothers lot of bullets so they must be aware that they have a issue.
