[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1972666, member: 87243"] I'm not sure if he is on this forum or not? Would be interesting, I have been meaning to call him and chat about a few things anyway. As far as the antelope damage, ya it made a big hole ha ha George said that the 338 would likely expand better and at a lower velocity than the other bullets, because of the larger hollow point, frontal area and tip. I don't mind it too much, I actually like how the Bergers generally do, other than lead particles and I would prefer to always have an exit. If these 338's do the internal damage the Bergers do, but always exit, and don't damage meat as much, I'll be a pretty happy guy. I had the same deflection thing happen with a 147 eld-m on an elk, have it on video even, entered just off the tip of the "elbow" on a slightly forward quarter shot, but the bullet was found back in the flank under the hide, clipped and did minimal damage to the onside lung, rest of the bullet passed through the paunch, doing very little damage. Threw in the towel on them after that one (and a couple other failures). Edit: George is on the forum I believe, his handle is "copper guy", though I think he has only logged in once. [/QUOTE]
