[QUOTE="Guest, post: 32552"] Ric Horst, I agree with you regarding bigger bullets. As far as pass through, if I get good expansion and penetration then I don't care if it passes through or not. I shot a mulie and an antelope in Capser, WY last october with a 140 Barnes XLC going over 3500fps from my 7 STW. I've since switched to 156 cauterucio's because the barnes accuracy was p*ss poor and I think the velocity wasn't helping. The mulie was 216 yards and the lope was 48. Both dropped in their tracks. The lope passed through in front of the shoulder and the mulie got it straight into the neck and stuck in the spine (penetrated more the a foot!) I care more about expansion and penetration than pass through especially since I shoot at different ranges and not always long range. I just got a new 338 lapua and plan to use the 300 smk's. A bit to big for the whitetail, so if I don't draw a Moose permit this year It may just be some trophy paper! [/QUOTE]
