[QUOTE="IdahoCTD, post: 563808, member: 13110"] I shoot the 210gr Matrix bullets in my .30-8mm and I loaded some in my buddies .300 Win. Mag this year. He just shot a elk at 612yds a few weeks ago and they did very little damage as far as blood shot is concerned. They actually reminded more of a Barnes bullet but they will lose their core. The first shot was low in the liver and failed to fully penetrate. I found it in the liver. The bullet looked good and I couldn't even bend the peeled back portion of the copper. The remains of the core came out easily and there was tissue under it. So somehow the bullet lost a bunch of the lead in the core. The second shot went through the lungs and penetrated completely. The exit hole was about 1 1/4". The lungs had damage but it wasn't massive. The bull didn't go but about 3 step before it fell. It didn't even move after the first shot. It thrashed around, got back to it's feet, and went about 5 yards before it fell for good. [/QUOTE]
