I've had pass throughs and bullets stopped with my 338 WMs and my brothers' 300 Mags, but last year was the first year hunting with my 26 Nosler. 140 grain Accubond at around 3400 fps hit a spike at 127 yards. Hit high on both shoulder blades, hit a rib going in one side and going out the other, and clipped the bottom of the spine- found the bullet under the skin on the far side. Dropped in his tracks while the rest of the herd ran off... I can't quantify why some pass through and some don't, but it is one of those things I don't worry about unless it becomes a long tracking job...
