They were fine. They went right through and did quite a bit of damage. It's just that I shot a bit low and the wind drifted them a bit. I've shot plenty of others around that range with them and they have done the damage. I think a harder bullet like the AB would have performed worse and likely pencilled.

I remember now I shot one once up at Jack's with my 300winmag at about 300 yards and hit it in the same place and it travelled quite a way before tipping over.

Having said that though, I have always reckoned that the 6.5x55 and 7-08 can be slow killers around 400 yards and out.
