[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 2354036, member: 87243"] Man, just went through the last couple pages of this thread and realized I forgot to update the other work this 140 SBDII has done at the hands of my cousin's wife!! Well here we go..... Her first high country mulie, shot at 360 yards, hit back of lungs/liver, hit the dirt at impact, got back up and stumbled 75 yards and tipped back over dead. Main exit was half dollar sized, with 2 or 3 other small petals that fragmented and exited rib cage, lungs and liver were mush. On a side note, [USER=8873]@Bravo 4[/USER] thanks for coming along on this pack out!! [ATTACH=full]316030[/ATTACH] This one was hard earned!! She had picked this buck out, and hunted him 4 or 5 times and he got the better of them every time, slipping out a drainage, moving while they were stalking in, and so on....until he didn't! They managed to get within about 500 yards, and she made a perfect shot on this guy. It looks like there was a bunch of bloodshot, but all of this scraped off the rib meat as it was just in the membrane, the meat was still salvageable pretty much right up to the half dollar sized exit. This bullet is proving to be very consistent and repeatable so far!! [ATTACH=full]316031[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]316032[/ATTACH] And finally, her first elk! This cow was shot at around 330 yards. She was in a sitting position on a tripod for the shot, and got a little excited as the elk were moving out. She pulled her shot forward just into the neck barely out of the chest cavity, centered up between the spine and esophagus through dense meat, and just missed the jugular artery. The bullet went in and out, the cow took off running but left a heavy and constant blood trail. She ran about 3/4 of a mile and died. [ATTACH=full]316035[/ATTACH] I find this last shot interesting, as the impact is within a couple inches of where I shot my elk last year, with a very different result.
