[QUOTE="Hespco, post: 2726586, member: 109476"] Took my elk & deer this season with the Badlands Precision Bulldozer 6.5 125gr. A very mature elk at about 30 to 35 yds. Extreme stress on a bullet at this close of range, at about 3000 fps impact. . Bullet entered way back behind the left shoulder crossing over left to right. Broke "two ribs" going in. Crossed over , caught the back edge of the heart . Then went all the way thru the right shoulder. Bullet traveled about 2 feet from entrance to exit. Found the bullet just under the hide of the right shoulder when skinning. Fired from a Savage stainless model 16 , 260 Rem. at 3039 fps according to my chrono. Picture shows a before & after of the bullet. Remaining weight 105grs. Front pedals sheared off as the byllet was designed to do. . This rifle has a 22", 1/8 twist Bbl. Virtually the same performance as the Hammer 6.5 121gr bullet on a previous elk a couple years back. My experience with copper mono' started on elk back in 1994 with the Barnes. They, every brand has worked great for me. Pick what ever shoots best in your rifle & go with it. I found the Badlands Bulldozer easy to shoot accurately. [/QUOTE]
