[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 86587, member: 1007"] Congrats on a successfull hunt! Often times hunters expect that their bullets should pass through their game and if they dont they think something is wrong with the bullet or something. The thing is, is if you want complete pass throughs then shoot a FMJ. When a bullet doesnt pass through, espescially a premium bullet at high velocity it ussually meens that most of the energy that bullet was transfered to the animal and that is not a bad thing. I had no problem getting 200 Nosler accubonds to pass completely through a big bull moose this year at 650 yards through the ribs and shoulders. The differance here is that at 650 yards the bullet has had adequete time to stabilize perfectly and go to sleep. If your shots were under 300 yards and werent perfectly stable yet, then they most likely wont pass through as there is an ever so slight amount of wobble. With this wobble, the bullets will stop much faster than if it were smooth sailing. I have seen guys shoot completely through a bull moose with a 30-06 and a Nosler Partition and have seen guys shoot bulls at 35 yards with a 300 Win mag using partitions and the bullet stoped in the hide in the offside. Hope that helps. Again congrats on a good hunt! [/QUOTE]
