[QUOTE="Teri Anne, post: 2344809, member: 118816"] Good Evening. Well that seems impressive, especially out of a 300 WM. You didn't mention the range you were shooting at. 25 minutes after opening a small 6 point buck wandered into my shooting area. 26 minutes after opening he was laying on the ground exactly where the bullet hit him, two inches behind the right shoulder. According to my range finder some 201 yards away from my stand. No bucking, no running simply dropped in place deader than a doornail. I was shooting a Tikka T3x, .270 Win with a Vortex Diamonback Tactical 6 x 24 x 50 zeroed in at 200 yards. [B]No I was not shooting a Sierra Matchking bullets[/B]. My ammo is Federal Premium 130 grain Nosler Partition. It left the barrel at 3060 FPS and was still travelling at 2650 FPS when Mr Buck experienced penetration with 2027 Ft Lbs of energy. At that range there was a pencil sized entry wound and a baseball (Hardball) sized exit wound. There was some blood on the ground but not what one would have expected with that size exit wound. There was a reason for this which I will mention later. The deer was hauled about 400 yards to the farm shop where in heated comfort I dressed it out hanging from a Bobcat Loaders bucket. While gutting the deer out when the skin was punctured I was greeted with a deluge of blood and guts, actually nothing unusual with the exception that the heart and lungs were a liquefied mess with no discernible resemblance to the organs that they used to be. Just saying that while all of you continue to try to outsmart the ammo manufacturers who specialize in making clean, efficient ammunition that is designed to kill on contact you continue to expound on the virtues of using target ammo on mid size and large game. No matter how you try to justify using match ammo for hunting I cannot see the ethics behind your reasoning. Please enlighten me. I am 🥺 patiently awaiting your comments. [/QUOTE]
