I'm reopening this thread rather than starting a new one with my hunt info:
Last week - 5 point mule deer angling away at 150 yds. Shot through posterior left lung and out right lung and shoulder with 180 gr Accubond. Never found the bullet. Very large wound channel and significant destruction of meat in right front quarter.
Next day (good hunt, for a change
): 6 x 6 elk very slightly angling away at 310 yds, moderately downhill. Double lung shot with 180 gr TSX. No exit hole found - searched but did not find bullet. I've asked meat processor to look for it in chest wall.
Rifle: Custom .300 Wby. Both loads were factory Wby ammo.
I'm obviously very happy with my hunt's results. The muley went 15 yards. The elk stood still in his tracks for about 15 - 20 seconds and then dropped. I am however a little surprised to not see a through-and-through with the Barnes based on reports here and other sites.
