He has a picture of a rifle, so it should be relative. Your probably seeing a cropped version that doesn't show it.

Be sure you chrono your reloads and understand how much energy they will retain at your hunting distance, as well as what you are hunting.
The 250 gr FTX looses a lot of energy by the time it has gone 200 yards, so it may not be suitable for anything larger than a deer. The fact that the 300 gr is hitting low at 100 yards indicates to me that it is loosing even more energy and may have a considerably sorter effective range.

Jim,
Where I hunt the maximum distance I have to shoot is about 110 yards. The only things available in my area of the state is deer and the occasional coyote.
I am sure this bullet as loaded has more than enough energy to knock either one on their a$$.
