[QUOTE="dogz, post: 2276184, member: 5429"] funny thing is, I have a 260 and a 140 Berg story as well. Shot a lope doe at just under 300 yards. Bullet caught it at the bottom of the heart. Darn doe ran 80 some yards. Now on the 22/250 and Swift I've been using them since 1978. 55-63 grain bullets. Mainly for small big game (deer, lopes) but have also used them on elk and black bruins. Shots mainly in the 35 yard range to 400 yards though our farthest shot was 505 (lope took 2 steps and pitched over, lung shot). The last 4 years we've taken 30 head of deer and lopes with the 60 Horn Hp. 28 of the critters hit the turf at the shot (behind the fronts). Two of them took short runs. One was a lope that we shot at 250 or so that went about 15', and the other a 100 pound whitey doe that ran about 35 yards. Most always it's one shot and down they go:) [/QUOTE]
