Shot the buck at about 20 yards. Hit him 3 times and all 3 shattered. Had to track him for about a mile before we pushed him into another member of our party who finished him. Only fragments got thru the hide and very little into the vitals. I know that close and thats not what those bullets were designed for but you never know. Unlike you most of my shots are under 100 yards but sometimes you have a 250-300 yard shot.

If it were me I would look at something in the premium line. That way if that monters poped up at 50 yards you wouldn't have to worry about blow up. And at 300 it would be no problem either. Hey, Hornady 165gr BT would be just fine.
