I went for a drive yesterday, and shot this little 3 point Whitetail with my 7x57BRNO. The load was a 140gr. SilverTip Nosler with 49.0gr. AA2700. The muzzle velocity was 2,880fps average @ 12 feet. I had to shoot him through the tops of the shoulders as a doe's butt covered his lung area. I lost a bit of meat, but dropped him in his tracks. The bullet ended up under the hide on the off side, with still a bit of lead left. Expansion was dramatic, as impact velocity was probably over 2,800fps. The deer was only 30 yards away.
: A while later, my friend shot a 2 point muley buck and a small black bear for hamberger, with his '06. The 7x57 destroyed less meat than the one lung hit he made with the 180gr. Speer bullet on the much smaller, 2yr. old muley.
: Normally, I shoot a 160gr. Triple Shock Barnes ahead of 51.5gr. H4831SC, but ran out of them.
; The more I shoot that rifle, the more I like it.
