[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 883047, member: 13632"] Won't have the pics down loaded for a few days but took a cow elk at 800 yards yesterday, wind pushed the bullet just about 6in more than I thought it would and it just caught the meat on the front of shoulder, breaking a rib going under the spine at the very front of the chest cavity and exiting a few inches forward of the entrance due to quartering. Pin hole in then a wound channel about 3/4 of an inch breaking a couple ribs and shocking her spine knocking her wheels out, the arteries through the neck nor the front of her lung were touched though the bullet passed within a half inch. I think 800 yards is pushing it for this bullet on elk, the permenant wound channels are just to small, I'm going to try to shoot a mule deer buck in the 600 yard range and see how the performance is there.
