[QUOTE="azarcher10x, post: 1783411, member: 57286"] I totally disagree! The only time I've seen what you're describing, was with a much to heavy a bullet for the game being shot, at close range. One of the problems I have with the long range shot fad, is their use of heavy bullets for long range. That's fine, until the shot on deer that pops out at 75, doesn't perform. Most of the uninformed, shoot these heavy bullets for class of game they're targeting. When shooting a Mono bullet, pick a lighter weight, and plan for close shot. Then if a longer shot presents itself, you'll still have a bullet will hold together and perform. As an example, I shoot 165 gr. from my 300 RUM @ 3500 fps. I've taken Coues at 95 yds., and elk at 600. Full expansion on the deer, and and exit hole performance on the elk. [/QUOTE]
