[QUOTE="Joefrazell, post: 2302479, member: 101262"] Guys, deflection of any bullet is a possibility. It can happen. I've found a bullet in the hip of a mule deer before that i hit broadside and that was with a 120 gr Hornady interbond out of a 25-06. It can happen. Maybe a point can be made that it's less likely with a bonded bullet but I've had it happen. I think weight of bullet along with speed play a large factor. But the bullet is basically a ricochet inside the animal. Personally I wouldn't shoot an elk with more then 2500 fps with this 147 eldm for lack of penetration. I'd prefer 1800-2200 fps from what I've seen. [/QUOTE]
