Default RE: Shock wave

ORIGINAL: turk1270

i shot the 300gr sst/shockwave over 100gr of triple 7 2f and i have shot over 15 deer with this combo ranging from 15 yards to approx 150 yards and never had a deer go more than 50 yards from where i shot them most were either drt or dropped within sight all exit wounds were larger than the entrance the internals were shredded.never had bullet stay in deer to recover slug but seems like they all did there job,and since all exited i can only assume none fragmented.the only slug i have is one i fired into a section of 4x4 hardwood post approx 24" long at 50yrds.the slug penetrated approx 12-13"into the post lengthwise bullet didnt seperate or fragment retained approx 90% of its weight
The 300g is know to hold together much better than the 250g. It is amazing what 50g more can do, but the 300g has much more energy, much higher BC and generally holds together better because of the mass. I don't know if the jacket is thicker or not. Chap
