[QUOTE="Dean2, post: 1699145, member: 26077"] Bullet placement always gets talked about, but bullet construction is just as important. A 257 Bee with Barnes or Nosler Partition will kill every bit as good as the traditional Elk rounds and it will penetrate shoulders, bone and the like just fine. This idea that smaller diameter bullets with lower SDs can't penetrate is a bunch of internet repeats of stuff that sounds right but isn't even close to being true in real life. I have never recovered a Barnes bullet from moose, elk or bear no matter where I hit them or how much bone they went through. I have seen two recovered Barnes bullets shot by guys I know but considering how many total animals we have taken that isn't very many recovered bullets, maybe makes 1/2 of one percent. [/QUOTE]
