[QUOTE="Slick8, post: 2420038, member: 52585"] I've killed 1 cow elk with the 215 at 200 yards. No pass through and the bullet recovered on under the skin weighed 51 grains. I also killed a WT buck of about 150 pounds at 200 yards broadside with no pass through. With the 230 I've killed 1 cow at 320, 1 red hind at 180, 1 at 605 and 1 bull elk at 550 and a bunch of deer and hogs from 100-620. None of the elk were pass throughs, the red hind and wt which are on the light side were all pass throughs. I love the bullet for its accuracy and lethality. It's been beyond well documented by the Broz and a few others. I'm still undecided on going back with the 230 or a high bc copper solid like the hammer or bulldozer. I actually ordered a box of 195 dozers to run a ladder with this spring. I know even a copper solid doesn't guarantee a pass through on elk as they have thick and imo very elastic skin, particularly the bulls. I also saw more trimming required on the bull due to fragments in the off side shoulder. I'm leaning on trying out the dozers next season but it's so hard to put the bergers down. Here's the remains of the 230 from last year's bull. It was shot at 550 yards with a muzzle velocity of 3000 and an estimated impact velocity if 2500. It weighs 53 grains and was found just under the skin on the off side shoulder. Additionally, both the 215 and 230 maxed out at 3050 and settled in at 2975-3000 for best accuracy in my 30 nosler. That's with H1k and maxing out case capacity prior to pressure signs. [ATTACH type="full" alt="20220124_123226.jpg"]334810[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
