[QUOTE="Blwebster, post: 1015275, member: 82312"] Yes my .308 Winchester and 7x57 as well as my 7mm Remington mag support what you said, and all three shoot bughole groups out to as far as i choose to use them on deer, elk and even wolves hete in northeast British Columbia. Interesting comment on the bullet tips breaking. Were the rounds seated to long for your magazine so tips might be damaged, or do you figure cycling the action to load a shell from the magazine to the chamber was the reason? The reason i asked is that i use the 155, 168 and 178 grain Hornady A-Max bullets and while i have not had that happen, it would bug me if it did. Only -16 Celcius here today so not bad, but could change any time now for colder times are just ahead. My oldest son shot a big black wolf a week ago. He had Barnes TSX 180 grains with him. The bullet passed through like a pencil poked him leaving pin hole coming and exiting. The wolf walked slowly nearly 80 metersbefore laying down and dying. Hisdistance was under 100 meyers when he shot it quartering away, right behind the shoulder. Ruined not a bit of the pelt but not a fast kill. Mine this year were each shot from 150, 280 and 455 meters using the 155 gr hdy A-Max in the .308 Win, and were instant kills. Now i gotta wait until the New yearto shoot more [/QUOTE]
