[QUOTE="richhymas, post: 2002495, member: 43504"] Chiming back in now that hunting season is underway. I killed another nice mule deer buck with 300 win mag and 215 berger. At 283 yards it was super devastating but also super messy. First shot was back a bit at the liver. Caught the lung bases. Blew a holes the size of my fist out the other side. Deer took a few steps so second shot hit spine. No more spine and no more back straps. Only small fragments of copper remained. Another fist sized hole. It puts game down fast, but is very explosive, especially at shorter ranges. I am actually hoping that the 245 grain will be a bit slower and have a bit more controlled expansion with good penetration. [/QUOTE]
