[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1513350, member: 87243"] I shot or witnessed 16 animals, ranging from pronghorn to elk, taken with this bullet just this year, the closest at 150 yards with an impact velocity of over 2850 fps (and left a decent sized exit), and none had an issue of breaking up, all either exited or were recovered with 50% retained weight or better. The recovered ones impacted at 2400fps-2100 fps, and were on a mule deer buck around 500 yds, a 6x6 bull elk at a little over 800 yds, and a cow elk at just over 700. Bonded or not, that was not the issue with this bullet. I will say I did not have the opportunity to test them on an elk at close range, having heavier skin, bone and muscle tissue combined with a higher impact velocity may have changed the story some. However, on pronghorn (whitetail sized game) with impact velocities of 2850 fps down to 2100 fps, all 10 animals had exits from 1"-2.5" (accept the one buck at 980, which the bullet did not expand) whether bone was hit or not. But if your personal experience on game with the 147 was different, I would like to hear, it is always good to have more information to add. [/QUOTE]
