My 300 WSM rifles loves the 150 grain E-Tips and I plan on using them for this upcoming deer season. Anyone have experience with the bullet regarding its performance on deer? expansion?

The first deer was a full broadside at 175 yards through the ribs. Entry hole was about 2 1/2" in diameter as was the exit. Blood-shot on the entry side was extensive with bruising extending up into the loins.
The second deer was at about 80 yards and again a full broadside through the ribs. The entry was again abut 2 1/2" in diameter but the exit was under 1/2". The lungs literally poured out of the chest cavity when I cleaned it. Again energy transfer and blood-shot meat was very apparent.
The wolf was an adult male of about 150 pounds. It was facing me at about 30 feet when it bought a bullet dead-centre in his chest. The bullet traveled the full-length of the animal and exited just below his anus. To say was impressed with the penetration would be an understatement.

You know????????

Can't fault you I can not keep up sometimes! :mrgreen:
Either way the deadliest mono and most accurate I have ever used is the GS Custom.
