Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Longest Penetration achieved from an expanding bullet?

haven't shot anything in years, but on the farm....45-70~never recovered any bullets, 16ga slug..ditto, 44 mag....ditto....even once a 22-250 seirra BTHP thru the lugs on deer.....complete penetration.....and ONCE, the 8mm mag....frontal shot on 8pt buck at 75yds.....instant field dressed..ruined ALOT of the meat with bullet fragments...traded that rifle off, and went back to basic calibers :-)
now it's just arm-chair hunting....but i still am a 38-55 and 45-40 man!

i have had 200gr partitions, shot out of a 300win mag at a muzzle velocity of 2900fps, hit the left rear femur shatter it and contiunue through the abdomen to end up exiting behind the front shoulder. when these bullets hit bone they sometimes penitrate further than if they just hit flesh
