[QUOTE="CaptnC, post: 1413233, member: 101755"] The take away I'm seeing is making sure the meplat open. I personally may have to change bullets if the cause is from the feeding of the cartridge. My 300wm is control fed so it might have damaged the tip going into the chamber. A 323yd shot with a muzzle velocity of 3050fps...I should have had more than 18.1 grains of lead left against the hide. I've killed hundreds of animals with Sierra and Nosler bullets. When I've recovered bullets, it's always been nothing but jacket. The lead has always been missing. My Aoudad did have a clean hole into the chest (hide and rib cage)...but why only a tiny piece of lead on the off side. It was a perfect crease of shoulder entry...lead found at off side crease.
