[QUOTE="LRSNM, post: 2334583, member: 118191"] Everyone agrees shot placement is the key. For penetration comparison I talked with Bruce from Montana Bullets Works, great guy, when I was working up a 10 mm hunting load. He said a 200 gr, hardcase, going 1200 will get a pass through with no problem. You have 500 gr hardcast you will be fine. I'd have no concern hitting bone. With your time constraints, lack of components, etc, spend your time on the range, determine your actual drop data and your actual effective range. I have felt your pain in large bore velocity even by An increase of 100-200 fps. Keep your fps to were u can handle the recoil, no need to develope a flinch. Pics are from a "bucklist" trip were i finally got my 80 year old dad to the NRA Whittington Center. [ATTACH type="full"]310669[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]310668[/ATTACH]Dad shooting the "White Buffalo" at 1123 yards w a 45-70, 535 gr bullet, 1200fps. And for those curious it's a 230 MOA setting.
