[QUOTE="dk17hmr, post: 1793311, member: 21384"] I have shot several antelope with a fast twist 22-250. Furthest was a 257 yard chest shot, she took the first one in the heart and just stood there bleeding out I put a second shot into her shoulders and she dropped. We are required to use 60gr bullets at a minimum I was using 62gr TTSX at almost 3600fps. Prior to switching to Barnes I was using 80gr AMax at about 3300fps which killed very well but I ended up picking lead out of the meat. One thing to be aware of is the general lack of blood chest shots produce. I'm in open country so blood trailing doesn't usually matter to me but I always look. [/QUOTE]
