| I wanted a bullet that would penetrate through massive shoulder bone and/or penetrate lenghtwise through an animal. I am restricted to using a .30 caliber rifle that is all that I have. It's a Remington 760 Pump and follow-up shots are very fast. |

| You're getting good info from BA, and everyone else here. You don't need high velocity with a good flat nosed cast bullet. A 150 gr. 6.5X55 at 1600 fps will go end to end in a buck, and keep on sailing. You need to forget pretty much everything you know about jacket bullets for hunting. Different animals all together. Load up a 180-200 gr. flat nosed gas check bullet, and move it out at 1900-2100 fps, and you can shoot right through any thing you will run into. 1900 is plenty, and probably better for the close range you would be shooting at. I live in grizzly bear country, and carry this class loads all the time up in the mountains. I'm not worried about getting ate. |
