[QUOTE="GERDES G, post: 1742664, member: 107245"] I know this is a different bullet and also 2 different animals but I had the same experience a couple years ago. 28 Nosler 140gr Nosler E-Tips Antelope at 250 yards blew lungs up and half of heart was gone. But I did have an exit wound. 1 week later, Bull Elk 470 yards just behind the left shoulder (actually got into it about 1-1/2 — 2”) bullet stopped at the skin just in front of right shoulder (got about 1/4” of that shoulder). After I got home and cleaned all the gunk from the bullet it weighed 134gr. There was considerable damage to the lungs but not blown to pink soupy goo. So I think the bullet did what it was supposed to on both animals, at both velocities and ranges. I am no keyboard expert. I am no expert right outside my back door of my house to my range. But I have shot a lot. I agree with a lot of people. I think your bullet did what it was supposed to at that range and speed. Congrats on your success!! [/QUOTE]
