[QUOTE="Joefrazell, post: 2425193, member: 101262"] My thought when hearing these types of situations is would it have been different with a rapid expanding bullet like a Berger. Say a 210 vld or 215 hybrid. Like you said, the game might expire differently and there’s no way of knowing. I personally have never shot an animal with a mono and have heard a lot of these types of stories about pass throughs and animals not having them go down quickly. I have however used federal fusions to take several game animals. Mule deer and black bear. Always got pass throughs even when shooting shoulders. Usually that 1” size exit. Looking back on that game it always ran around a bit before expiring. Now I loved that bullet and liked that if I needed to I could take a challenging shot angle. But after I started reloading and using more efficient long range bullets that are cup and core I’ve noticed that even though I don’t get pass throughs animals seem to be anchored much quicker. Not always drt but usually die within 10 seconds or so and they usually don’t run far at all. But many are drt. [/QUOTE]
