[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2401655, member: 10755"] But it seriously does happen. Had it happen with Berger OTM out of my 338-416 Rigby Improved at 10 yards…..the hole was dinner plate size and no penetration just shrapnel. Also had it happen at 20’ with a 260g Ballistic Tip out of my 375 Weatherby. The entire R/H ham was destroyed, bullet fragments went into the pelvis as did the olive green plastic tip. Have had it happen several times actually. When you shoot enough and try enough bullets, you will encounter this. The stories I have trouble believing are those that say a bullet ‘pencilled through’ at 15 yards. Just doesn’t happen, unless it’s a mono with a blocked up cavity, which I did personally witness once. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
