[QUOTE="Raudy707, post: 2741599, member: 105681"] I killed an elk with the 208 eld-m two years ago 158 yds. No autopsy pics but the bullet entered about 3 inches above the armpit broke a rib and completely liquefied the lungs. Never found a trace of the 208 grains. Not a jacket, piece of lead, nothing. But that was one dead elk. Bullet didn't exit, just totally evaporated in the diaphragm. Craziest thing I've ever seen. My 300 win mag is 2918 fps avg. I like an exit hole for elk, but I'm still shooting those 208's. Can't punish the bullet for dropping an elk right where he stood. If I really want a pass through, my 300 Weatherby does 3200 fps with the 180 Barnes ttsx. It's goes through everything. But I don't shoot the Roy past 500 yds on game animals. Those 208s I've shot out to 690 yards with stellar performance. [/QUOTE]
