[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1132550, member: 7999"] Exactly. I just did testing/load development on a .234 with a stability factor of 1.37 that shot less than an inch at 200 yards. Then as we were packing up some deer came out on the range at 150 yards. What better opportunity for terminal testing.:D Shot intentionally quartering away just behind the ribs and out just behind the off shoulder. Bullet tracked on a perfect straight line through the deer. 1.37 is technically marginally stable but performance is perfect. This bullet is not very aggressive in the ogive compared to the 7mm we shot at the same session. It had a stability factor of 1.18 and printed oblong holes at 200 yards. Steve [/QUOTE]
