[QUOTE="remingtonman_25_06, post: 33140, member: 1403"] I put 1 into about a 450-500 lb black bear at 250 yards out of my .300 RUM doing 3200fps at the muzzle. Bear was running broadside, shot entered behind shoulder and the bear went only a couple steps. The bullet did not exit but went about 3/4 of the way through. The vitals were completely liquified. The remaining part of the bullet weighed only 40g's. Not very good weight retention, but I'm not complaining and neither did the bear. If anything, I would go with the 220g just to have a little added insurance of the higher s.d. and a little more weight retention. [/QUOTE]
