[QUOTE="TriggerTime426, post: 2677065, member: 113663"] Shot a beautiful 10 point MO whitetail on public land during firearm season. Shot him with a 6.5-06 custom remington 700 with the 156 berger at 170yds bullets goin 2830fps. Shot him walking parallel from me on the other side of a ravine bottom. Put it on his shoulder anticipating walking speed and ended up hitting him on the back edge of his shoulder blade. The bullet went through his shoulder blade punched a 1/2 dollar size hole in his rib cage through both lungs knocking out ribs on the other side went through opposite shoulder blade and the hide caught it without a exit wound. Buck ran 30 yards and piled up. I retrieved 50 gr of the base and multiple small shrapnel pieces around it. As much as I would have liked a exit wound I thought it was pretty impressive the bullet traveling through both shoulders and rib cage, and creating massive wound channel, vaporizing the internals. Wanted to get information out to people about real world terminal performance of this bullet. I also shot a elk at very extended range with this same setup. So I now have real world data to share from extreme range to very manageable average range. [/QUOTE]
