Zeke said, "I just helped a friend with his daughters science project. It was about trajectory and penetration with various .243 bullets."
Even more funny is the results of the "science project"...
Zekes friends kids science project results:
"Enough to say that if you hit an elk in the shoulder you'll end up with a shoulder wound! Period! (9" penetration in "elk" type bone and meat)"
Frickin' hilarious...
Lucky for this bull, he died well before you, and your friends kid did your science project...
My Dad and Brother with a bull I shot with a 6mm remington and 100 grain nosler partition...Jumped him from a bed while deer hunting and didnt hesitate to shoot him on the run at 80 yards. Broke both shoulders and flattened him on the spot.
The hydrostatic shot got him, even with a .243 wound channel of less than 2"...as clearly the .243 is only capable of 9" of penetration and wound channels less than 2".
Another poor victim that didnt get the science project report.
120 yards, broke the on shoulder and exited behind the off shoulder. Made it maybe 30 yards before becoming a victim of hydrostatic shock via .243 100 grain partition:
Just for the record Zeke, how many elk have you personally killed with a .243? Deer? Antelope?
I bet none...
