[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 235105, member: 7999"] I shot a mule deer buck w/ my 30-378 @ about 40 yards. He was going up a steep hill across from me. I shot him between the shoulder blades. He stopped and stood there, laid down, and I shot him again through the lungs. This was w/ 200 grn accubonds @ about 3200 fps. No meet damage, in fact it pretty much penciled him. No matter, he was dead with out any tracking. The big 30 will kill anything you want at just about any range you are comfortable w/. I think you will cause more meat damage with smaller caliber fast guns than you will w/ larger caliber fast guns. The larger caliber bullets will hold hod up to the impact speeds better than the smaller caliber bullets will. Put the 180 E-Tip in it, @ 3300 to 3350 fps, and shoot anything on the north American continent from muzzle to 1000yrds. JMHO, Steve [/QUOTE]
