[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1237117, member: 4191"] That's impressive penetration for an expanding bullet on a bull moose. I had a 210gr Barnes X bullet fail to exit with a broadside shot on a bull moose at 615yds. The bull was perfectly broadside. Bullet entered the middle of the ribs behind both shoulders. Cartridge was the .338-378 Weatherby Magnum, and I was launching these bullets as fast as I could from a Ruger single shot with a 30" barrel. Back in the days before laser range finders so I'd shoot a lighter bullet at high speed to minimize the holdover guestimation. The Barnes shed two of its four petals and was caught under the offside hide. Less distance to pass thru and thru based on the description of your shot, and my bullet never hit either meaty shoulder. I never expected your bullet to exit. [/QUOTE]
