[QUOTE="Wedgy, post: 2060114, member: 64108"] Wow, that's crazy but at least it travelled straight. A buddy shot his elk same time I did at 1,003 yards with the 300EH from a 9 twist .338 norma broadside taking out the heart and left a 2" exit hole. I wonder what causes the different performance. I feel that insufficient twist rate is the main answer to most perceived bullet "failures", that they aren't spun fast enough to perform once they hit an animal but the will still fly straight and punch a round hole in paper. I'm in a nonlead state so my barrels are fast twist, 7 for the 300RUM, 8 for my Edge, 6.5 for the .264 all custom which is a pain but after lengthy talks with Steve at Hammer Bullets I think that is what explains a lot of crazy things bullets do. Like making a 90 degree turn, folding like a banana, or penciling thru. [/QUOTE]
