[QUOTE="dawnpatrol, post: 1155514, member: 94164"] That makes sense about the speed that counts being the speed on impact. The part about target density also makes sense. I once shot a deer with this setup and got the same result (clean pass through with no bullet expansion). At the time, I chalked it up not enough mass in the target (and that might have been the case). But it seems like the body cavity of a large elk would have more than enough mass/density to make this bullet expand, no? Thanks very much! [/QUOTE]
