[QUOTE="Blue Ridge Rifleman, post: 1756347, member: 100057"] I have a Ruger No 1 in 7mm that shoots 150 gr. Sierra Match Kings into tiny little groups. A few years ago I jumped a Wyoming whitetail at about 50 yards and put one into the shoulder on the run. The buck jumped and continued on three legs. Even on three legs he was hauling. At the point of impact i found hair, meat, bone fragments, but no real blood trail to speak of. I tracked it for 2 - 300 yards, lost the trail and never recovered the deer. Since I couldn't perform a postmortem I can't say exactly what happened, but I expect the bullet fragmented on the shoulder joint. I'm now shooting Nosler partitions and while they don't group as well, they perform every time. [/QUOTE]
