Just shot a deer and a moose with Speer's 350 gr. Mag-Tip in my 416 Remington Mag. Performance was very good. The deer was taken at 60 yards, quartering towards. Actually made a poor shot, as I thought it was broadside. Hit the back half of one lung, blew the liver to mush, and exited the rear rib cage(after going through some stomach) Deer went 15 steps, then all 4 feet were in the air. Wound showed good expansion, and left a nice sized exit hole. Not bad for a skinny 180 lb. deer.

The moose was taken broadside at 100-125 yards. Hit high in the lungs, a few inches below the spine. Exited the same spot, just 4 inches behind the shoulder. Moose went about 15 steps as well before tipping over. Huge entrance, centered a rib, big hole, stick your fist through it, then mushed the lungs, and exited between 2 ribs, 2" exit or so.

Missed a bear too, hit a tree with my shot. Bullet went through a 8" pine. then 3" into another. It was a picture perfect mushroom, and retained 75% of it's weight.

Great bullet!

Todd,
Glad to hear it, since I recently bought 350 of those bullets. That ought to be enough to work up a load and have some left over for hunting. Congratulations on your immediate successes afield.

Thank you for the report Todd. I have tried and tried to get a field report on that bullet and with just 2 exceptions, it has turned into a discussion(pissing match) about something else. I will use it for deer this fall as well.

I got some of these for my Taylor to use for black bear, and feel totaly confident even though I have yet to kill with it yet. Best part is they are the cheapest bullet I can find, and they work well.

have shot several hundred of the 350 speer in my taylor. have had mixed results in various mediums. excelent speed, excellent groups, have not used it on any game yet.
