[QUOTE="OzRanger, post: 1708040, member: 110388"] I wanted to follow up to this thread (I know it was years ago.) But I witnessed similar things at 4000fps 70gr varmageddons and just had to do some study on it. I have a theory here that seems after some autopsy work to make sense. I'm shooting 70gr Varmigeddons and Varmint (spitzer purple tip) out of a 6-06 at 4000 FPS. Initially i thought I was getting pass through too. But actually, you aren't. The reason you saw one blow to pieces and the first one not is because most of the force was contained within the animal. That 1" exit wound was just remnants of the base passing through dragging some crap out with it, I think. I've just gotten back from a hunt trying these again after witnessing similar things and did some autopsy work. What I noted was the animal was full of little bits of bullet, it definitely has blown the thing internally to bits, but on bigger, tougher or thicker skinned stuff it just keeps the blast contained. I found the 70 Varmint (purple tips) to be super accurate and had no trouble hitting my quarry at 400 yards, terminal effects, if it did exit were impressive. Some even exploded their internals back out the hole the bullet entered, i'm guessing path of least resistance. Either way, don't worry about those 1" pass through, the varmaggedons are still doing their work inside. Next week i'm heading up to the farm again with 3 decent sized pork shoulders that are about 4"x10" to shoot at 100yards. I have a decent camera with a good frame rate to test these effects. I'll put a water jug behind them to catch what I can. 6mm - 55gr varmageddon (4500 fps.) 1/14 twist. 6mm - 70gr Varmageddon (4000fps) 6mm - 65gr vmax (4300fps) 6mm - 70 gr Varmint spitzer (purple tip nosler) 4000 fps. I'll get back to you when I am done with the video. This will be fun. [/QUOTE]
