220 Sierra RN at 1050.

I use to use that bullet exclusively on northern White Tail when I lived in MN and hunted there and in Wisconsin, out of an 06... but even at distance, I have taken a couple of big bucks at 300 yds plus with it.... dime sized hole going in and a dime sized exit hole. However the lungs, and the upper half of the liver and/or heart also, in the chest looked like it was stirred with a running chain saw.

That is why I prefer heavy for caliber Round Nose bullets, but sadly most hunters nowadays prefer something that is long and sleek and dream of shooting a deer at 1000 yds.. A 220 gr RN nose hits something, the sectional density of .330 or so, will still pass right thru....never experienced something that wouldn't pass right on thru with that 220 RN.

Out of a 300 Win Mag at 2900 fps +, its quite the hammer... even at 300 yds.
