[QUOTE="redneckclimbing, post: 1513818, member: 41124"] I have shot two animals now with the 270 out of a 338 Norma. Muzzle Velocity is about 2870, I believe. Either way, first shot 406 yds, good sized "mulie" buck. Hit him a little far back. through the liver, and back of the lungs. He ran about fifty yards, down hill, and piled up. The bullet had disintegrated his liver, and passed through the other side. Not a huge exit hole so I assume the bullet stayed together fairly well. Second animal, good sized cow elk, 200 yds. Last five minutes of the season, she started to turn and walk over the hill away from me. I was trying to sneak the bullet in behind her last rib and up into her chest. However, I gave her the old Texas Heart Shot, right at the base of the tail. The bullet went into the top of her pelvis and just crushed it. However, it didn't go much past the actual hip bone itself. I would consider that pretty good performance considering it penetrated probably a good ten inches of solid bone, and at a relatively high velocity still. The bullet really didn't fragment and really bloodshot a very minimal amount of meat. That's all I've done with it so far, hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
