[QUOTE="richhymas, post: 2346101, member: 43504"] Only a failure at that impact velocity, and it sure didn’t fail to kill the elk. Everyone expects different outcomes from a terminal ballistics perspective. Some want a mushroom found on the far hide. Some want an exit on a steep quartering angle or through dense bone, some want a Frangible bullet that shreds vitals, but we all want a quick humane death in a way that we can recover the animal. As such, complete failure it is not, although I do agree that it wouldn’t generate confidence that I should take a 1100 plus yard shot again with that combo and impact velocity. I wonder how the 245 Berger would have fared. Or the 212 or heavier ELD-X. I just know I prefer impact velocities over 1800 FPS. [/QUOTE]
