[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1743355, member: 87243"] Hard to tell in the pic, but looks like a high hit, spine or bottom of spine. Not discrediting your experience at all, like I said it's hard to tell from those pics on my phone, but I have found that shots placed through the shoulder at the base of the spine tend to render "bang flop" results reguardless of bullet performance and also do a little more damage than is typically seen when the bullet is placed through the ribs, as the bone can create secondary projectiles or cause bullet tumbling to create the concept of bullet expansion, when that may not have necessarily been the case. At the end of the day, you dumped an elk in it's tracks. I would keep using the bullet until you see something you didn't like. If your in an advantageous position I would try a shot that is going to hit no, or minimal bone to really see how the bullet does. A shot placed through the heart or lungs but only through the thin rib meat will show if a bullet is really going to perform when it hits limited material. [/QUOTE]
