[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1903484, member: 13632"] I'll try to trickle in some data points as I pull them up, I've lost many of the pictures from years ago when we we in discovery mode which bums me out. We've shot probably 20-25 antelope and white tail between 60 and 625 yards with a 22-250 and Berger 60gr bullets running 3500 fps. Closest and farthest were both antelope, 60 yards quartering to us on the point of the shoulder, bullet was under the hide in the of side, shoulder broken and heart and lungs shredded with large clotted blood, dead within 5 feet. Farthest was perfect broadside right behind the shoulder at the colored change line, 1.5-2 inch hole through lungs with 3/4 exit, ran 100 yard ish and tipped over. A doe antelope at 150 broadside same shot as the longer one above inside of chest was like she snorted a grenade, she stayed on her feet but could not move then dropped within a couple seconds, very interesting to see an antelope not physically be able to run but still on its feet. Antelope 325 yards, 338 RUM with 300 gr Berger at 2832 fps, held middle of the ribs to make dang sure the shoulder was missed, ran 100 yards and tipped over, entrance was 4 inches and exit about 8, nothing forward of the diagram was in the chest, everything had been blown out both the entrance and exit holes, the ribs on the entrance were actually broken out. Same gun and load antelope just over 1100 yards, perfect broadside hit behind shoulder not even hitting a rib, 1/2 hole with 1.5 inch radiating bruising, ran in a 200 yard circle and tipped over. Those are the closest and farthest on antelope with the 22-250 and 338 RUM. [/QUOTE]
