[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1222785, member: 7999"] You need a bullet that has a min of 1.5sg stability so that it stays point on on impact to ensure that the bullet deforms as it is designed and stays on the proper coarse of direction to do the most damage possible all the way through the elk. Our bullet is designed to open the nose of the bullet all the way to the shoulder, shed the nose petals, flatten the front area of the shank of the bullet like a dangerous game bullet, then travel on creating a large permanent wound channel. The wound channel is caused by displacing soft tissue perpendicular to the direction the bullet is traveling. The key to large wound channels is the perpendicular displacement of tissue. A rounded mushroomed bullet will not displace as much tissue due to the fact that the tissue can part around the smooth rounded shape of the mushroom and spring back into place leaving less broken tissue than the smaller square shank bullet that shed the petals. Here is a pic of a 181g .308 that I recovered from a cow last fall. The shot was a frontal shot and the bullet traveled through nearly 4' of elk before it stopped. She took about four steps and fell over dead. [url]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/images/longrangehunting/attach/jpg.gif[/url] Steve [/QUOTE]
