[QUOTE="MagMan, post: 248566, member: 966"] This is a doe I shot a couple of years ago from a 7mm RUM with a 30" 7 twist barrel at 75 yards. Bullet of choice were the 180 Bergers zipping out around 3300 fps (I'd have to find my book to know exactly, but I know its close). I also believe this to be the ragged edge of over spinning said bullets as some later down the line would dust immediately out of the barrel. The doe was quartering to me at a downward angle with her head down. I aimed between the front of the onside shoulder and the center of the brisket approximately 4" below spine level (in the neck area). I don't have entrance hole pictures but from what I remember there was no bone contact (could be wrong though). Not really sure where I was going with this but figured it was on par with the subject. Over twisted....yes, violent expansion....yes. In my eyes quite a winning combo. That combo counted for numerous kills that year with similar results all around, but trusting them to make it to their intended target was a game I'd rather not play.
