Awesome info. Thanks for sharing and congrats on a meat haul!

It's a carbon six barrel, just the lighting. About 30 minutes before sunset. Yeah definitely a bummer to lose some roast, but I was still able to recover most of it...probably only lost 3 to 5 lbs...

If you measure in thousandths of an inch, I think I saw a piece of meat in the upper left quadrant that could be salvaged.

Still exited behind the 6th rib...260gr mono has a hard time stopping.

I have shot almost end to end with a 236 Hammer from a .338 RUM at under 100 yards. Takes a lot to stop that shank!

On a elk you mean Bravo? And yes those big wadcutters will plow thru a lot.

Yep, sorry I was referring to an elk.

We took a cow Elk with the 6.5PRC this fall sending a 124 Hammer out the pipe at 3150. The distance was only 70 yards but that bullet completely shredded the heart. Found one pedal on the opposite hide. Impact velocity was around 3025. Never seen a bullet do that kind of damage.
