[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 355083, member: 704"] It's strange that people have opposite experiences with the same bullets at the same velocities, but it happens. Bought my first 300 Win Mag in 1990 and started out with X bullets and used them all the way up to the tipped triple shock. With the extra doe tags I have shot a lot of deer with X bullets and never had one drop on the spot. Fastest I ever seen one go down was the 110 gr loaded down to 3300 fps. I watched through the spotting scope as his chest took on the appearance of a 55 gal drum. He took off and rolled at 40 yards. So then I went to 300 in a Remington Sendero and started shooting Ballistic Tip. Then I had a custom rifle built on that action and stock. I left the heavy Bartlien barrel at 28.25 inches and with Retymbo and a 210 gr Berger VLD it hits 3060 fps. Well my chrony says 3017, but I had to increase the velocity to make it match my actual hits from 100 to 1200 yards. The last buck I shot with it was 850 yards, and for a second I thought I missed. The snow puffed 100 yards beyond and a yard in front. He run 100 yards and if my buddy had not been watching through the scope he wouldn't have seen his feet flip in the air just over a ridge. Evidently I ricocheted slightly off some bone in his body. Rib I guess because it was just behind the shoulder. Here is my only recovered X bullet. Lengthwise front to rear hind quarter at 400 yards. 180 gr. It's a little smooth because I carried it on my Keychain in my pocket for 25 years. [/QUOTE]
