[QUOTE="JimmyCP, post: 1499211, member: 106166"] With all these new bullets out there that basically explode or "old School" stay together it is important to know your shot placement with the type of bullet you are using at what range you are shooting. Eldx and Amax for example, Up close they can explode on impact at to high velocity even on just hitting a rib. If your going to shoot an animal at Longer ranges than you want to know what the bullets going to do at that distance. Does it have the make up and power to punch through the shoulder at that range? At mid to long range 300-600 yards, will it explode if it hits bone or does it have the power and bullet make up to punch through. Thats why we use accubonds and sst for the kids. 200 yards and under on a lung shot most the time the bullet explodes and 40% is stuck just under the hide with an SST. 250-600 50% sectional density loss and punch through all causing massive organ damage. 600-800 30-40 % sectional density loss 800-1000 barley fragments. That a 6.5x284 140sst 57.5gn retumbo neck sized to .292 wlrm primer 2940 fps out the barrrel. Stock savage TH 111 with 24 inch barrel, nosler or norma brass. As with always, work up to that if you use it. .5 grn more and I get ejector marks. I tend to run everything a little hot and dont really care about brass for hunting. Dont care to use lapua brass for hunting. I would just push it and expand the primer pockets too. If its acceptable for me to shoot and kill with accurately in my rifles I'm ok with burning up a little brass. [/QUOTE]
