[QUOTE="JohnnieB, post: 1753725, member: 41502"] I had this experience many years ago with 210 Berger from a 300 Wby. Shot an old boar at a bit less than 30 yards quartering to me in the shoulder pointing to me. The pig ran around in 2-3 big circles and dropped dead. When we walked up to it, it looked like a grenade had hit the shoulder and we found lots of bullet pieces stuck in the plate. We only found that one small piece of shrapnel about half the size of a dime, by the size of the wounds that penetrated and hit the front lung and some of the arteries over the heart. Conclusion is that 3000 fps is way too high an impact velocity for that bullet. [/QUOTE]
