[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 2745130, member: 87243"] I'm not challenging you in any way, simply discussing, so please don't take offense. How do you know they did not tumble? Did you recover any bullets? I recovered one 6.5mm 140 VLD from a bull elk shot at 713 yards, and it was obvious it did not tumble as there was no damage to the rear of the bullet. However, other than recovering a bullet, after shooting many animals with monos, bonded, standard cup and core as well as bullets that are specifically designed to tumble, it is honestly hard to tell the difference in a wound channel from a tumbling bullet to a bullet that does not tumble. 6.5mm 140 VLD from a 6x6 bull at 713 yards - [ATTACH type="full"]438764[/ATTACH] 127 .277 bullet recovered from a cow elk shot at 680 yards, a bullet that is designed to tumble, and obviously did - [ATTACH type="full"]438765[/ATTACH] Damage inside the animals were very similar, large amounts of damage throughout. The difference is the latter (a monolithic bullet) bullet penetrated nearly the entire length of a large cow elk. The Berger was hanging in the skin in the exit wound. [/QUOTE]
