[QUOTE="Silver Dog, post: 2480224, member: 48303"] From Australia. My experience was with a standard Weatherby in 257, using 100gn Ballistic Tip, pushed along by 66gn of 2213sc. This had been a superbly accurate and effective load at longer ranges, primarily on feral pigs. I had a surprising chance at a large doe Red Deer at about 30 yards. Did not want to spoil too much meat, so hit her about 6 inches below the ear, central neck.... Got a cloud of fur on impact and the deer dropped to her knees, stayed there for a few seconds before shaking her head, standing up, obviously thinking *** was that!!!??? She, and attendant large youngster then galloped off and were last seen disappearing across the cultivation almost half a mile away..... Collected a double handful of hair, not a sign of blood at all, and obviously never saw them again.... Changed immediately to Accubonds and have never lost anything again, even with the biggest and most mud encrusted pigs, or, obviously, deer, at everything from a few paces to about 400 yards, my self-imposed limit for certain kills... Doubt that there will be any problem with Accubonds exploding, but stay clear of Ballistic Tips, esp at short ranges. [/QUOTE]
