[QUOTE="dogz, post: 3068769, member: 5429"] A 55 grain hard bullet like a Barnes is not a winner for taking things down quickly especially when started at 3K fps........ Of course we all know that if we use things enough that sooner or later you'll see something that makes you go hmm....in this case the critter got going and putting it down with a hard bullet started at that speed was more than likely going to be tough sledding. Now add 400-600 fps (22/250, 22 CM, 22/250 AI) and a soft point like 55 Horn w/c, 63 Sierra, 60 Horn sp and things will happen a heck of a lot quicker! Just one of the reasons why I'm not a huge mono fan especially when running at slowish speeds. Just my 3 cents (again) (one interesting thing is that they actually let the video roll for the whole thing, I can tell you that that doesn't always happen, be just a bit aware of the vids that show a critter hit the turf and then the vid Ends........:) [/QUOTE]
