[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 244, member: 34"] Hello Warren Have you found that tumbling bullets will penitrate both shoulders or at least one, at ranges between 1500 to 2100 yards on elk? I have found that the exit holes are larger at closer range then past 1500 yards. Do you think my bullet is tumbling from the start? I don't think so at all. We have hit deer at 1000 yards and put volleyball size holes in them. Elk at 1500 seem to have the same wound, At 1700 and 1800 the exit holes are smaller. The elk at 2100 had a hole about the size of a large grape fruit when the bullet exited through the far shoulder. Im sorry but, I cant believe for a moment that that bullet tumbled. That rifle is just too accurate. I have found that, my 338/416 will repeat shot after shot at 1800 yards regularly. If there was tumbling of the bullets, my accuracy would suffer and that's not the case I have found at all. When testing on paper at extreme range I have not witnessed any key holeing what so ever and I certainly would if my bullets were tumbling. I don't believe the tumbling is happening, as you mentioned even though I can appreciate the tests you have run. If the animals you are testing bullets on are all deer and elk size and the ranges are all in excess of 1500 yards and you have killed over 1000 of them, then you have more experiance then me. I can only tell you and others what I have witnessed and found. Darryl Cassel [/QUOTE]
