I have not used one, but had my butcher grinning at me with a bullet [pellet] he found in the shoulder of a big old ancient 7x7 NM bull i shot at 511 yards, took the pellet home and miked it, exactly .243 on the base, the little bullet gave all it had, but wasn't enough in this case.

I had my Sharps rifle on this hunt, the sun was setting in my right eye, i simply couldn't get rid of the glare to make the shot, i asked my guide for his rifle, a 7mm STW built by our old Buddy EddyBo, he also invited me along on that hunt, i spun a few mils and killed the bull with one shot, the 160gr Accubond numbed him up enough he did the chubby checker twist for 90 degrees and fell off in a rock ledge. grin
