[QUOTE="Tikkamike, post: 590401, member: 22242"] Broz, I have not recovered one although I have recovered parts. I shot a cow this year throught both shoulders at 864 and it looked like someone drove a pipe through her, it was very effective, my problem actually comes from the 20ish deer and antelope I have killed with that rifle, even the ones hit in the ribs blow enormous holes which tells me my bullet is falling apart on a relatively soft animal, I have never had it fail so I cant say that it will, but it seems to me like a similar bullet in 1/3 the the weight will also come apart like that leaving very little weight retention, so makes me wonder what would have happened if that girl had hit that elk in the shoulder, would it have made it into the vitals? I dont know but im an old school partition /tsx style guy...I know you have have great sicess with your bergers though, [/QUOTE]
