[QUOTE="ShootnMathews, post: 1264315, member: 59915"] I have a buddy who raves about the 250 shockwave so I switched to them about 5 years ago. They are very accurate but of the only 4 deer I've shot with them I am not impressed at all. First deer I shot was a 10 point at 40 yards. Great blood at impac spot, then not a drop. I basically just went walking looking for it and found it about 150 yards away. Shot was a double lung pass through. Lungs appeared to be pretty tore up. Second deer was a doe at 30 yards. Broad side shot with no exit. Deer went 20 yards and bedded down but did not die. No blood trail. We dispatched it by other means Deer 3 a doe went straight down with a very high shoulder shot near the spine at 100 yards. Died right quick. Deer 4 an 8 point was a double lung pass through at 17 yards. A few drops of blood and lots of hair at Impact spot. The blood trail you could follow but just barely. Small drops every 10 ' or so. Deer went 200 yards. On all of the deer the bullet seems to not be expanding well. These were with 100 grains EXCEPT for the 3rd doe. Which was 120 grains as was also the fastest kill and most damage. I'm going to try some Barnes this summer. [/QUOTE]
