[QUOTE="augustinaustin, post: 24241, member: 835"] thank you. That is excatly what happened to me. I rolled a pig at 300yds with a 220MK leaving the muzzle at 3175fps that made it over 100 yds after she got back up. I could not believe it. In our brush down here that just doesn't work. I shot a beautiful 11 point last weekend with same at 125yds which is a shot I would not have taken had it not been such a great buck. I have my feeder at 500yds but the rut is on. Anyway he dropped like he was hit by lightening but the entrance wound was huge (immediate expansion) and no exit. I'm looking for the best bullet for 300-600 yds that will hold together better, tolerate the velocity and be accurate. Am I asking for too many things given the velocity from a rifle like this? (300 RUM, 30"bbl, tight neck) or should I just slow the 220MK's down a bunch for that range? [/QUOTE]
