Well, you guys know the truth. If more people read that article and shunned the 250, that would be more for me. Before my 99 I hunted with a marlin336 in 35. I used to shoot my deer through the front shoulders. Can't run on two broken legs. The first deer I shot with my 250 I used the same hold, and the deer took off. Follow up shot hit it at the base of the neck. The 100 gr Remington CL did not penetrate the shoulder blade(Actually, I think my first couple boxes of ammo were Winchester Silver Tips) . It did turn that whole shoulder into a black mass of jelly. Now I aim behind the shoulder or in the eye. Both shots work like a bolt of lighting. The old 35 was MODeer accurate. The 250 is MOPI accurate. That's Minute of Pigs Eye, Joe
