[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 211029, member: 11717"] phorwath, true, I wouldn't expect *identical* results everytime, but opening at 1600 fps vs 1800 fps is significant in my book. In the case of GG's story, the elk was first shot in the neck and I'm assuming no bone was hit, because if bone was hit, it would have dropped instantly. Your story of the dall sheep is very interesting and sounds like an anomoly, especiall for a ballistic tip. My expeiences with bullets have been consistant, having used 7mm 160 partitions almost always. Little hole going in, little bigger hole going out. I'm trying to determine some predictable results. I would much rather shoot at an animal being confident that the bullet will perform well than just hoping maybe it will. It may be that experience with shooting lesser game like antelope and coyotes will be my ultimate proving ground. [/QUOTE]
