[QUOTE="ron jaege, post: 1754692, member: 111693"] I have experienced this using 100 gr sierra sp 243 handloads. The bullet hits the humorous and fragments. The humorous is broke, but deer can go a long ways on 3 legs. Usually shrapnel penetrates the chest cavity, not enuf. i have shot the same bullet in 270 (130 gr) and 280 (140 gr), with no problems. I suspect these bullets might experience the same type failure if used on elk or moose. I have shot several elk with the 280 using 175 gr hornady interlocks and 175 gr nosler partition. Tough bullets that penetrate with expansion. Deliberately shot shoulder to put them down. [/QUOTE]
