[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1488418, member: 68875"] Any part of the jacket left that could be measured for caliber? That would be cool to find out. And maybe weigh what was left. Could it have been a 6mm 85gr? .257" 115? .264" 130? 7mm 140? .308 150? My cousin blasted a spike bull quartering on, last evening of the hunt using my .300RUM shooting the 210 VLD @ 3110fps mv in the front leg bone (humerus), small diameter hole in, large diameter hole and severe fractures out, broke it, passed through a lung and exited the off side back of the rib cage. So no bullet recovery. Plenty of bullet to do the job @ about 225 yards. [/QUOTE]
