[QUOTE="STEEL SLINGER, post: 1150627, member: 42414"] I shoot the 140gr. in a 6.5x55, 162gr. in a 7RM and a 155gr. in a 308 Win. and never had an issue! Call it lucky or what you want, but it is a very good bullet for what I have shot with it. Deer, bear, goats and caribou in this country and several plains game in Africa.
