[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 1664728, member: 109862"] I actually have loaded the 220 rn interlock in 300 win mag and taken a whitetail with it. It was perfect for the hunt I ended up doing, it was a 60 yard running shot, quartering away (had no idea I was there, was chasing a doe so suffice to say he had other things on his mind and almost certainly died happy). Absolute hammer at that range, I don’t care what people say to the contrary, in my experience AT CLOSE RANGE round nose or flat nose bullets just plain hit harder. I think this is why at 100 yards and under the old reliable 30-30, the first “big gun” I ever shot or hunted with, has killing power all out of proportion to it’s drab ballistic charts and energy tables. It hit the abdomen, just in front of the hips, and traversed the deer diagonally. But there was a big surprise...no exit. It’s actually a very very soft bullet. Upon examination of the carcass I was stunned to see the bullet actually broke in half at the cannelure very soon after impact, both halves completely traversing the abdomen and chest cavity stopping against the offside shoulder. Most emphatic drt kill I’ve ever witnessed. He was running when I shot, and just dropped, skidded a few feet from his running momentum, and didn’t twitch once. And no bones were hit, no nervous system hit, a purely soft tissue instant lights out. [/QUOTE]
