[QUOTE="aebhunter, post: 2725637, member: 72979"] I thought the same thing and did a couple of test runs dumping mags and cycling the bolt like a wild man. Other than realizing I need to use some better lube for my titanium actions, I didn't notice anything wrong with the bullets. I don't think it was a bullet failure or anything. Operator error for sure. I tried to get cute and experienced a less than ideal outcome. Also, animals are unpredictable when projectiles hit them. My buddy shot his cow at the exact same time with the same caliber, just a different bullet. He hit right behind the shoulder, very tight to it. That bullet blew a gigantic hole in it upon entrance, exited, but the cow still took off like a banshee and made it probably 80 yards before it tipped over. If you examined both carcasses after you never would have guessed his made it more than 10 yards. That was my 4th or 5th elk with the 124 hammer (Also one mountain goat) and all the others have been textbook. All the other critters were shot behind the shoulder though. The one thing I love about these bullets is the lack of meat loss. Even with a shoulder shot I lost alot less meat then I would have with another projectile, which I consider a good thing. [/QUOTE]
