[QUOTE="Stammster, post: 1938381, member: 114381"] Here is a 165gr SST shot from my 30-06 into a 450lb cow elk in Baker, Idaho last fall. The bullets struck at approx 2400 fps (380 yards). The shot was uphill at 20 degrees, entering the elk at the bottom of the rib cage on the right side as it was quartering away. The bullets clipped the bottom of the heart, and exited the rig cage on the opposite side. Bang, thud, flop. A few broken ribs along the way. While I was processing the meat, much to my surprise, I found the bullet lodged against the bone on the inside of the left front leg. 72% retained and a perfect little mushroom. [/QUOTE]
