[QUOTE="Joe King, post: 728394, member: 47325"] I shot a Muley buck with the 168gr classic Hunter this years at the insane distance of 50yrds :D, impact velocity was about 2900fps. He was 1/4 away at a pretty good angle. the bullet took out 4 ribs on the nearside ripped off the bottom of his lungs and 1 piece of the jacket stopped in the off side shoulder, pieces of bone from the ribs went through other organs also tearing them up in the process, oddly no part of the digestive tract was touched at all, but every major artery in the body cavity was ruptured, no exit but that close I didn't expect it to. I lost maybe 2lbs wrapped meat, probably less, I still ended up with 60lbs of meat in the freezer. So yea Id have to say they work up close too. [/QUOTE]
