[QUOTE="Orange Dust, post: 1494020, member: 92702"] Sitting in a deer stand in the rain. Fun of opening day..soaked. roof is rotten. Here is my experience with this, and it is very old data. Been shooting across bean fields nearly 50 years with a few trips out west throne in and several to Canada. Years ago nosler came out with a new bullet called a ballistic tip. Thought they would shoot far so I loaded some in 150gr for my 300 why that were really too hot. As luck would have it I was sitting on the edge of a field and a big 10 point ran behind me at less than 20 yards. Slang through him and broke 3 legs. No bs. Bullet hit near shoulder which blew up there was an exit hole where the off shoulder should have been and blew up the far hip. Exit hole the size of 1970'S Large pizza. Went back to 200 great partitions. Next was an ackleyized 8mm Remington magnum. Tried 175 sierras at a speed I would not print. Shot a coyote at about 100yds.
