Shot a large muley doe this past sunday with this bullet out of my .280 Rem on the run at about 200 yards give or take a few yards. Muzzle velocity was measured when I worked up the load at an average of 3266 fps. Impact velocity should have been around 2800 fps or so. I am very impressed with what this bullet did it totally destroyed both shoulder blades entering and exiting and turned both lungs into red liquid goo. Never found the bullet or any fragments of the bullet when gutting or skinning. Exit hole on the off side was a perfect 3/4" round hole through the hide.
To say I am impressed with this bullet is an understatment ! I think it is tougher than its 140 grain sister but with only one animal taken so far I can't say for sure. Going for a whitetail buck this weekend so I am hoping to see what it will do on a 300 pound plus deer with more bone mass and just tougher in general.
