80 yards. Impact velocity roughly 2800 FPS. Only reason I recovered the animal was because I put a second bullet into him. This was from a deer, not an elk so please don't chastise me, but you know how many words a picture is worth...

Hopefully I've just had abnormal luck or bad lots of bullets from Barnes, but I've found that sometimes they work awesome, sometimes they don't.



I believe this is the same experience I had although I never recovered the bullet. 338RUM 225TSX 3200 FPS, shot a Bull elk at 111 yards 338 pencil hole in, pencil hole out, just like a solid. Luckily it was through vitals. The Elk ran a quarter mile before it dropped.
