[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 2008415, member: 4191"] More twist couldn't hurt, and might have improved direct line penetration. I ordered an 8.25 twist Bartlein. On the other hand, bullets will do some strange things depending on what they contact. I've seen severe deflection hitting even a cord of tendon, let alone the bone your's impacted. Good thing is this one got the job done, and with very little meat shredding, which is always nice. The 12" penetration is the dumbfounding part, even if the bullet turned and plowed sideways within the 1st inch of penetration. I learned something from your experience, so thanks again for reporting. Elk must have some Kevlar in their DNA. And I think you picked the toughest bull on earth! Oh yeah..., nice shot and nice bull too [/QUOTE]
