I recently hunted Springbok and Gemsbuck in Namibia and had and a disappointing result with 215g GK. Although this was not long range the result would probably be more consistent with the example when using this bullet at long range.
This bullet was recover from a Gemsbuck I shot at 200m. The bullet travelled through the head of the animal then after it exited the head it penetrated the spine where I recovered it after skinning the animal.
The impact speed was probably around 2400fps which is not exactly slow. At around 800 yards my impact speed is around 1800fps with this load.
Guess I will have to look at another bullet for taking long range shots.
