[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 87872, member: 2011"] Just one odd ball experience. Things started out wrong and continued wrong for a first time hunter. End result was 223 cartridge w/69gr Match bullet at 2600 fps MV mistakenly fired at a rag horn elk @ 120 yds. Said elk went about 20 yds and keeled over. Entrance wound was 224 bullet was under hide on off side. It was 100% weight retention and at least 98% shape retention. o expansion whatever! It just barely caught the tip of the heart. The fella has the F&G report with pics and ballistics report to prove it + the cost of a decent semi-custom rifle donated to the cause.
