[QUOTE="Bull_Mtn, post: 1508751, member: 105447"] I saw what happens a couple of weeks ago in Montana. My grandson was shooting a .300 WSM with 168 grain Bergers. When he shot at 320 yds, the bullet sounded like it hit a tree when it connected with the elk. It ran into some trees nearby,limping badly. We waited for a half hour and found the elk dead about 100 yds from where it was hit. The bullet hit an upper front leg bone and didn't penetrate the rib cage. There was a lot of blood on the ground, we figured the bullet exploded and severed an artery, causing it to bleed out. I prefer a bullet that will keep going after it hits a front leg bone and does some internal damage. We were lucky! [/QUOTE]
