[QUOTE="jamesmc2, post: 2951133, member: 28212"] First kill with the HHT bullet. Shooting a Howa Super Lite 6.5 CM 20" barrel shooting the 118 HHT @ 2795 fps. Shot a whitetail buck at 175 yards thru the shoulder on a slight quartering away shot. Impact velocity would have been about 2570 fps. Bullet zipped thru and left a small exit wound (see photo). Did not see any sign of trauma from shed petals in the chest cavity. Internal damage thru the lungs was not very impressive. This may be a better bullet for a 6.5 PRC or other set up pushing > 3000fps or perhaps in larger calibers. I think I'll be looking at a different bullet for this rifle.
