[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 821830, member: 12995"] I've used the same bullets and had to track them, and I've also used the same bullets and made the same shots, and had them either fall over dead, or ****-near do a barrel-roll and land on their other side. Sometimes everything works perfectly, sometimes it doesn't. If you were close enough a .257 Wby Mag with a 115 VLD should kill a bull elk with no problems....That's alot of velocity when it's moving 3300 fps... And that little .257 caliber pill will absolutely wreck their insides, like a blender blade went through them. My processor was in shock and awe when we cut open a doe I double-lung & heart shot with a 110 Accubond from my .257 Wby @ 100 yards. Little bitty entrance, little exit, but It looked like someone ran through it with a chainsaw on it's vitals. We may have had .5% meat loss....The only part ruined was the meat in a couple inch diameter circle around the entrance and exit wounds. And sometimes a .338 Lapua doesn't kill them... It's all about how the "stars align" when you take your shot. Sometimes it's perfect, sometimes something goes wrong. You never know till you pull the trigger. [/QUOTE]
