Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Most interesting recovered bullets

Bones are tough on bullets.If you hit a large bone on the entry side,it can really affect the wound channel the bullet makes.Here is a 180gr Accubond I recovered from a red stag I shot with a 308 Norma Magnum at 185yds,mv was 3050fps.The bullet hit the big humerus bone right below where it connects with the scapula.That is the largest,thickest bone in the shoulder.The bullet blew the bone to pieces,went through a rib,through the heart,hit another rib behind the offside shoulder and tried to exit,but the thick hide held it back.The recovered weight was 89.4gr(49.6%).
