[QUOTE="memtb, post: 1863474, member: 75451"] I guess that I’m a little puzzled with Bang4the Buck’s post. I understood him to indicate that a high velocity bullet at close range “penciled through”! Unless the shooter was using FMJ bullets, the shooter “should” have had pretty dramatic expansion with any expanding bullet..... with a potential “blow-up”, with a bullet designed for long rang work! For the past 25+ years all of our game has been taken with Barnes mono bullets, and they have given expansion from muzzle to well in excess of 400 yards. The smallest caliber bullet was .338 @ 225 grains, the largest, a .375 @ 250 and 270 grains. Excluding varmints, the smallest big game taken was antelope....and we got expansion. In short, with bullets/calibers designed for larger game....we get expansion on small game ....no “pencil through”! The shooter “should” have gotten expansion! 🤔 memtb [/QUOTE]
