[QUOTE="GLTaylor, post: 2330163, member: 111593"] We've been tinkering and testing for about 3 yrs or so. Admittedly a small sample size (my personal numbers only), but since testing a terminal stability factor of over 2 (up to 3.8 or so) I've not had a single tumble - and that includes 3 intentional shots through the shoulder/leg bones. This is from upwards of 40 whitetails. No moose or elk in this state😆. I have shot intentionally at all quartering angles as well as head on through the brisket trying to test and capture shanks with little luck. The one shank I captured was from 351 yds, head on, with the 131 7mm Hammer Hunter. The bullet demolished the lungs and travelled stem to stern, through the left ham and lodged under the hide at the rump. MV was over 3600 with a 7 RUM. I'd have to look up impact velocity, but probably at or above 2900. My current pets are the 6.5mm 85gr HH with a MV of just over 4000 and a tinkered with 7mm 113 SH at just under 4000. Next up will be a 30 cal. 120gr LH at about 3800 MV. Obviously, I do not shoot at long range. I limit myself to 400 and in. [/QUOTE]
