Recovered bullets are pretty nice to look at…..but, I’m not happy if I get one! I expect, almost demand, that my bullet will “full - length” an elk “end to end” and still exit! memtb
I agree but what are you shooting that can do that? Last year I shot my bull at 287 yards and the bullet went through. One shot and done. This year, same gun, same load, only 259 yards and I recovered 2 bullets. It's not a small caliber!
I'm using a 358/300 WSM shooting a 225 gr Sierra Gameking at 2840 fps
Last year, the bull was bedded at 287 and I hit him just behind the shoulder. He barely got to his feet and collapsed.
I'll post a pic of this years "exit" wounds.
