[QUOTE="308win, post: 2952450, member: 102230"] I've had nothing but excellent performance from 2 different LRHTs. Shot 2 deer with a 85.5gr LRHT (223AI @ 2900fps muzzle) one at 50yrds the other at 279yrds. At 50, had a golf ball sized exit and a blood trail a blind man could follow. At 279yrds, bullet entered between ribs and started expansion in the close side lung. Totally destroyed the offside lung with a thumb sized exit. Deer went 7 paces stood for 20 seconds and fell over dead, never even twitched.

Entrance on small pig and no exit. Like a dummy, I didn't open up the little pig and recover the bullet. [ATTACH]512880[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]512881[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]512882[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
