I would be really interested to see how the 176 30 cal goes though . I think they will be like any bullet you need to work out their limits and use accordingly.

This is the editted video they say it died pretty much there it ran more than the 20 yards mentioned maybe not a huge distance but it shows a bias. Also the bullet hole is not that big considering it hit about as much bone as possible busting through both shoulders it also had a fairly high impact velocity of 2230fps. I will give it that Pronghorn are fairly thin skinned so maybe don't provide the most resistance but I'm not completely convinced. I'd like to see one hit closer to the 16to1800ish fps speed where the eldms and other projectiles seem to be limited to as well as a shot behind the shoulder not through it. I'd love them to work but they have to better than what's available especially considering the price.
