[QUOTE="Hand Skills, post: 1685573, member: 103303"] Shoot enough game and you'll see weird stuff happen. It's anectodal, but a friend of mine tagged an elk last year with a .338 230gr ELD-X. The impact velocity was 2550ish fps. Bullet broke the shoulder but stopped on a rib, never did make it into to the chest cavity. I've personally bounced a 165gr Accubond off a whitetail deer. Hit and broke the humerus on a uphill shot. The bullet was deflected enough that it never entered the vitals. It's about leverage - if you hit 'em in the right spot, it don't take much. On the other hand, bones are hard. If want to break em, choose appropriately... [/QUOTE]
