[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1065053, member: 4191"] I feel confident is stating that a pointed, 300gr .338 bullet that neither expands nor tumbles inside a game animal will not provide a quick, lethal blow to the animal, unless you brain it or spine it. If you fired a flat nosed, non-expanding .338 caliber bullet into game animals, I think they'll kill well even if they don't expand or tumble. But long range hunters don't use flat-faced wad cutter style bullets. Pointed .338 caliber bullets that simply drive thru a game animals lungs, torso, or body will disappoint you, and can result in a lost animal, if there's any cover nearby that prevents additional finishing, killing shots.
