[QUOTE="bdyal1972, post: 1974257, member: 50039"] 338s ALWAYS PENETRATE PENETRATION KILLS HOWEVER I HAVE ALSO TRACKED A BLEEDING 1000# ROOSEVELT 4 DAYS WITH HOLES IN BOTH LUNGS AND 1 VENTRICLE OF THE HEART DAMAGED, STARTED NEAR Camas Valley oregon, went around sitkum oregon died after a SECOND ARROW within site of the school at bridge oregon.... Experiences like that are why broadside shots on elk are iffy... Sometimes a 30 cal 150 grain ballistic tip exploding in the boiler room @ 2900 fps drops a bull drt Other times It takes 3 boiler room hits... Never seen a bull go far with a big heavy bullet breaking BOTH shoulders Never seen a big bull go far with a hole from sternum to *** OR vice versa!!! Even a 195 lathe turned SOLID in a 28 nosler would be hard pressed to do that!!! 140 grain 6.5mm???? "Forget about it" 175 fmj in 7x57??? Maybe lol [/QUOTE]
