[QUOTE="anwahs, post: 3058681, member: 9511"] I didn't agree with many of the issues he brings up, especially when he said he has never seen a heavy for caliber bullet blow up (or splash) and not penetrate the chest cavity of an animal. I shot a deer at very close range with a 338 RUM using a 250 Sierra gameking going 3030 fps and also a spike elk at about 75 yards. The deer and the elk went down immediately. The deer stayed down but the elk got back up and had to shoot it again. When I got to it, it was still alive and finished it off with a 45 caliber revolver. All 3 shots failed to penetrate the chest cavity. It was very apparent the bullet was not designed to handle the speed and just created what many refer to as a splash on the outside. [/QUOTE]
