[QUOTE="bsnyder, post: 2950393, member: 113477"] I’ve never had a Berger not blow up both shoulders. Especially at where you impact speeds would have been. My follow up questions are 1, how did you look for the elk when you lost blood? What did you do day 2 when you were searching? Was it a grid search did you look for crows circling? I normally don’t even respond to these but while reading it to the wife she had questions and stated the deer she killed with a 7 stw at inside 100 yards with a Berger 168 through both shoulders and it still exited and destroyed both. So impact speeds would have been about your muzzle. If the bullet penciled did you see an exit? Dust fly? Hair? What did you see at the impact when you walked over there? [/QUOTE]
