[QUOTE="Farmer72, post: 1911996, member: 113835"] I will say that I don't think caliber as much as bullet will have a bigger effect on meat and hide damage. I have a friend that used a 340 Weatherby on antelope and had no issue but he was using a bullet that didn't blow up either. Personally I have used almost exclusively Barnes "X" bullets (X, TSX, TTSX, and LRX) for years. And love the way they hold together and have very minimal meat damage no matter where you hit them. I shot a Antelope buck at 350 yds with a 168gr Tac-TX BT from a 300 WSM where he was facing straight at me it when end to end and I recovered it just under the hide and there was very little meat damage. Now the one at 250yds with a 7 STW Imp and 120gr Ballistic tip did a lot more damage as those bullets come apart like a firecracker. [/QUOTE]
