[QUOTE="Huggy, post: 1742233, member: 101145"] Like you I tend to stick with what "works" once all parts and components are dialed in. There's that saying that goes something like: Beware the Man who owns but one gun for he likely knows how to use it. And on a different (but similar) note there's the saying: If it ain't broken, don't "fix" it. As for what you'll find to happen at shorter ranges all things being equal, if experience is any indication, the bullet will more than likely shatter/fragment but it will likely reach deep enough to take out the vitals for a solid anchoring shot but at the cost of some bloodshot meat and some waste. However only you can be the judge of whether or not you're willing to roll the dice and take the shot. Good Luck. [/QUOTE]
