[QUOTE="bkondeff, post: 428825, member: 10444"] We'll I've had split results. I am very happy with .284 168 grains on deer and elk. Internal damage is great. We shot 3 deer with a 25-06 and 115 grainers. All took multiple shots through the ribcage perfectly broadside and did not expand. The small .257 bullets passed through without touching bone. I'm sure they would have expanded had they touched bone. My son's buck absorbed 5 shots and the last two shots did hit bone and perform well, but the first three appeared as misses. His buck scored 192" so it was nerve racking. I'm not sure there is less reliability in the terminal performance in smaller calibers, or if I got a bad lot of bullets(I own 3 boxes). But again, I am very happy with 168 7mm and have converted friends to the same. 617 BC at 2975 fps convinced a friend to leave his 300 wby behind for deer. [/QUOTE]
