[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 691396, member: 13632"] They are much like a Berger, they open after a couple inches and at close range they continue to open fast and those you'll find under the hide on the of side but once they slow down a little bit they blow through every thing and I have yet to catch one even in elk shot through the shoulders at long range. It's what you get with long heavy for cal bullets, a great ability to drive though game while doing significant damage and at close range even though they open and shed weight aggressively they have the bullet to back it up and drive deep before stopping. An elk at close range shot through the shoulders will stop the 165 Matrix but they won't live to tell the tale, you'll basically have a jacket on the of side under the hide but it leaves a blown hole clean through all that bone, we took several good bulls last year at very close range and the 165 yanked the rug on them hard. The 165 Matrix in a 270 gives me the wound channel, sectional density and accuracy I'm looking for on elk, the 190 should be awesome in the 7mm!! [/QUOTE]
