[QUOTE="Brown Dog, post: 30924, member: 1622"] I'm getting like a stuck record asking these questions regarding the 'target' bullets; but what are you all doing with these rounds when a deer pops up at less than 200m? turning down the shot? or are they non 'explosive' at short range 300WM velocities? On a <200m shot, broadside through the ribs and top of the heart, what kind of exit wound size would be typical ? About a week ago I posted that I had 2 x deer with hand span size exit wounds at 150 and 160m with quartering behind the shoulder chest shots -with 180gr Sierra prohunter bullets. This was disappointingly explosive and a lot of meat was spoilt. What would a target bullet have done? Made a through-and through-pencil hole or 'detonated'? I want to be convinced, but I'm having trouble making the 'leap of faith' to give them a go! Do these target bullets have a 'minimum effective range'? [/QUOTE]
