[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1980232, member: 4191"] The 300WM bullet never hit any shoulder/leg bone, yet still failed to enter the rib cage. The bull was running with 4 intact legs when it was dumped on the go. You're really stretching it to give the benefit of the doubt to the pea shooter. Swamplord's 270gr .338 bullet, on the other hand, traveled the complete length of a bull moose. From the butt to the neck bone. 7-8ft penetration. Of course, he did use the better bullet. Make what you want of it, but there is no comparison. Not even close. Take your pick... Pop gun or serious bad medicine on BIG big game. [/QUOTE]
