O.K.....I am bored.
Let's here about your bullet perfomance on elk. Might be interesting to hear what is working and what does not:
338 Win Mag ( 225 Core-Lok ) on a cow at 350 yards right through both front shoulders. Stopped under the hide on the far side with a great mushroom. 1" entry hole. This round performed great. Cow went 10 yards. 65% weight retention on the bullet.
300 WSM ( 180 Barnes Triple Shock ) on a bull elk at 100 yards through both front shoulders. Bullet exited the far side with a 1 to 1 1/2" exit hole. Bull went 20 yards. Thinking that a exit hole over 300 yards may be real small. Bullet performed well, but the jury is still out on what I am looking for. Would really like to see a 2 to 3" exit hole. This bullet is extreamly accurate.
