[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 3050456, member: 101791"] Over the years I have looked bullet wounds in as many animal that I can or allowed to look at. I've seen bullets that come apart and blood shot entire side of an animal. I had one expercience with that a great many years ago. I haven't use that type of bullet from that time going forward. Overall the BT or AB Nosler has been my go to bullet. I do push in my 25/06, 308NM, and 338WM at or around 3200fps. One is plus that by 100fps. In the two larger calibers. I am also over in powder by 5.5grs over max manual loads. I have taken lots of animals and mostly in one shot kills. Not all but far more than taking a second shoot. I also can figure out where to place the shot from about any angle and get into where chest area is. It allow the bullet to do it's job. Spent all day trying to track an animal I shot, and have spent other days doing the same thing for other people. I have tried the next day, and including others. Bottomline is bullet placement and to take the care to place that shot where it needs to be. The 2nd elk I really figured it was more luck that skill, but at time it's better to be lucky and good. Now I am switching to all copper bullet, and at the same time changing out or having rifles built to handle the copper bullet with increase twist rates. It'sd been an interesting world and I am glad to be here. I have my own ideals as to what I want and work towards them. I do share what I have learn over the year. Right or wrong. 🤣 😁 It's a great place to express what you come up with and learn from others. [/QUOTE]
