[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3059050, member: 5412"] Post #12, 60 yds, so yes your probably correct using this old style of bullet. At longer ranges it most likely would have worked just fine and even made a full pass through because it retained enough kinetic energy and additional bullet weight because it wouldn't have shed so much weight on its passage through the deer. I shot a beer can full of water with a .22-250, 45 grain varmint HP at 20 yds once with some cardboard behind it. After the shot the cardboard looked like it had been shot with a .22 RF rat shot load. Nothing but tiny holes. Gotta have the bullet for the job. I think that's why I'm moving to Barnes. I've never seen one fragment to date. Look for a report in the future.:D [/QUOTE]
