[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 307711, member: 704"] I started shooting X bullets the year they came out. I stuck with them for seven or eight years. I never did have an animal go flop at the shot as some have expdrienced. Not even with a 150 gr 30 cal at 3200 fps and 100 yards. They all died, but many run 200 even 300 yards. The only bullet recovered was a buck at 400 yards shot straight on and the bullet was found under the skin of the hind quarter. I realized that even though I was shooting 3400 ft pounds of energy only half or less were ecpended in the deer and the rest was on a hillside somrwhere beyond. Since then I have shot a lot of bullets and for long range settled on Berger VLDs. I get a kick out of these outdoor writers who have their picture with their trophy and talk about bullet failure. Dead animal = bullet success Shot but live animal runs off = hunter failure [/QUOTE]
