Both animals were pretty doggone dead, when the bullets were recovered.

Looks like the Barnes over-penetrated....

I thought big game bullets stopping inside bobcats was amazing, but now snakes too?!

That elk was an easy pack out! My sister and brother and law brought horses! grin

I did have to pack it a few hundred yards since we couldn't get horses all the way to it. There are roughly two billion dead falls up there. Att least that's how many I think I go over each day...

Wrestling with it to roll it over and debone it about killed me though!

I've had great success shooting thin skinned game with the .25 cal 115 Ballistic Tip in my 257 Weatherby. The bullet holds up surprisingly well, even when launched at 3400+ fps. Shots have ranged from 120-250 yds. The 115 BT is a quick killer.

3400+ fps! Yikes! smile

Ya, I use that bullet at about 3120 fps from my .25-06, and it's done GREAT.

I just shake my head at the speeds the Roy Quarter-Bore can attain. I need to try one of those sometime. cool

Ha, yes! It's pretty impressive. Lot's of folks bag on the 257 for the amount of powder it burns, the noise it generates, it's recoil, blah, blah, blah. All of which mean jack chit to me. I knew what the 257 was all about before getting into it. For the performance, killing power and fun it generates, it's worth it to me. Just point and shoot out to 400 yards and watch things die. Pretty impressive killer.

Granddaughter has liked 20 or so pigs and deer with the 95gr 6mm ballistic tip. It will punch through both shoulders. Great bullet.
