[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 403402, member: 13632"] When set up in the field everything is leveled to the rifle to get as direct a hit as possible, I'll be doing some more testing soon and I'll bring the camera this time to get range picks. The water is more aggressive, but some bullets do perform the same in the water as in game, it is not very predictable though. For example the 270 140 gr Berger ends up looking exactly the same at the end of a barrel of water as under the of side of an elk based on recovered jackets and a little lead. The 30 cal 210 Berger blows like a bomb in water but not with enough constancy on game to continue trying. So water sheds some clues but is not definitive. It does show us worst case close range blow up, which is a variable I like to know as well. [/QUOTE]
