[QUOTE="reed mosser, post: 30502, member: 1589"] Brent sounds like your 416 is a killing machine. I only use the lighter bullets in my gun because usually the deer I shoot are 10 to 600 hundred yards. So far I have only shot two deer with this gun. I did test the bullets ability to kill close at high speeds. I shot a very nice eight point in the Pa season this year at about 10 to 15 yards. I was on a rock ledge a shot a angled shot from above the sholder blade to the lower part of the opossing sholder. The wound on this deer was not as dramitic as the deer I shot at 200 yards. But it still left a nice exit wound and gelled the heart + lungs. The deer I shot at 200 yrds took out a basket ball sized hole. All I can figure Is that I pushed a rib through . I so far am happy with the fast bullets. 90 percent of my deer are taken under 600 yards. next year I will be going elk hunting with this combination hope it works half as well on elk as deer. As far as accuracy goes the 30 laupa is shooting better than I expected. Thanks for you input I am fairly new to long range hunting, and could use some advice.
