[QUOTE="Willys46, post: 233570, member: 6536"] Yes it is a good round for 50-500. You just have to place your shot better to limit meat damage. Hell at the price at that Accumark buy it, kill somehtig with it and see what the damage is like. If its too much sell it for what you have into it and be done! Besides a poorly placed shot at any distancewill cause meat damage. As for the 257 wby..I think that would be a great roundfor white tail. Its a laser beam and hits the deer like lightning. At 50yards it will tear up alot of meat aswell due to the velocity. The problem with all the high velocity rounds is at short range they enter the game with too much velocity for the bullet to work reliably. If you keep that in mind and just place your round in the vitials you will be fine. It when we screw up and it exits through the offside shoulder we lose all the meat:mad: [/QUOTE]
