I shot a 5pt bull elk in 2010 with a 180gr AB out of a 300 Win Mag @ about 3100 fps muzzle velocity. He was moving 100yds away, the bullet broke the near side shoulder and continued thru the far shoulder with less bone contact and was found just under the hide. Retained weight was 82.7 gr and all that was left is basically a blown jacket. The damage was quite extensive, he dropped out of my line of sight but was pretty much dead right there. I hoped for a little better weight retention but it was a fairly severe test for a bullet.
