[QUOTE="ATH, post: 1139838, member: 1656"] The typical complaint with the 250 is over-expansion and fragmentation. I've not shot a lot of deer with the 250, but those I did went down quickly and no bullets were recovered. I shot over 100 deer with the 40cal 200gr SW, with nothing but good results at ranges out to 400 yards. The only negative to report is that driven at smokeless velocities of 2800fps, one must be careful at ranges under 100 yards as they will grenade if they contact bone. But at BP velocities, they were perfect for me. Blood trails are a curious thing. If you shoot high in the chest, the blood can pool low and not exit. Unless you choose a bullet which blows a massive hole....and destroys a lot of meat if you place it wrong...sometimes they won't bleed much. [/QUOTE]
