i just aquired a vanguard in your favorite caliber...even made a few bucks on the deal...now i just have to figure out when i can go pick it up.

i have never owned a 700...tried to buy a couple, but got outbid more than i wanted to pay.
i own a-bolts, love them, own a savage model 10, love it, haven't really found one i don't like of decent quality.

not much meat damage with that round? i read that can be a problem with some rounds under 200 yards.
thoughts?

Not any more than any other round. Here's mine with my goat. 207 yards, 1 shot tops of the shoulders, the rancher turned to me and said, "what the hell you shootin?" I just laughed and told him. He still talks about the lightning struck goat!!
