[QUOTE="dougduey, post: 1920234, member: 33159"] Just like STX said, they are devastating at close range. You’ll see my mountain goat in my avatar. Took him at 208 yards with my 338 Lapua and the 213 gr Hammer Hunter at 3205 fps. Due to body position, I had to put it through his shoulder. It went through both shoulders and had a 1.5-2” exit wound. He jumped up and did a 180 upon impact, then fell over dead before I could rack another round. We used the gutless method, so I really didn’t see what the internal organs looked like. But, all you could hear was sloshing every time we moved the carcass. I shot a south Texas cull buck on a friends ranch with the 177 in my STW this year. About 150 yard shot. Dropped instantly. Lungs were jello. [/QUOTE]
