I’ve killed a bunch of elk, deer and antelope at 340/338 velocities. Ive alway been impressed at how it would penetrate deeply on elk even at range, but still open up on the ribs of an antelope. Out of several dozen elk, I can only think of one instance where it did not exit. It was on a big bull shot through the shoulders at 400+ yards. On lung shots, it would leave racquet ball sized holes out to 550 yards. The beauty of the bullet is i could count on great penetration and expansion from up close to farther than most folks have any business shooting unwounded game.
