[QUOTE="Brent, post: 27060, member: 99"] QH, I hope I'm not the only one that responds here to your post. [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img] I've killed only one animal with the 178 A-Max, it's only "one" experience but FWIW it was at about 100 yards in my 300 Ultra. MV was 3200 fps and it was on about a 5' black bear facing away from me on a hillside. I shot him between the shoulder blades through the spine and the bullet exited his throat with about an 1.5-2" exit hole. He rolled down the hill and never moved. I already knew if I hit the spine he was a gonner for sure, taking out the jugular and exiting with a nice hole after penitrating about a foot of muscle and bone, well, that suprised me "some." I'd stay away from a shoulder shot but, that's about all I'd worry about, IMHO. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
