[QUOTE="Andrew Massi, post: 2650907, member: 106096"] Nope. Well designed bullets don't wound in a linear fashion( monos, which are Inferior at killing do) bullets that are designed for and excel at killing will initiate rapid lethal expansion when they encounter tissue and fluid. Poor slow killing or tough bullets may not "expand" well but they also don't create good would channels anyway. Miss where you're aiming and hit a scapula with an expanding bullet like a berger/scenar and it will penetrate the scap, destroy the lungs and probably the heart. My point was and is- people are scared of elk shoulders and they shouldn't be. They aren't made of plate steel they are thin malleable and easily punctured. Even the humorous which is the thickest bone isn't bullet proof. But like your handy drawings point out, it isn't near the vitals and if it's encountered then you missed. Elk aren't bullet proof.
