My son and I just returned from a MT cow elk hunt. He made a great shot on his first elk at 127 yards.
When we got to breaking down my cow elk we found a slug just under the skin on the left rear leg at about knee level. There was a small abcess. I am thinking given how the slug is mushroomed it went through another animal or something prior to hitting the elk. There was little to no bruising or damage around the site of bullet and the skin and hair didn't look disturbed.
My slug on the left is a .308 200 grain accubond weighs 176.4 grains, the other bullet, the one in question is .264 caliber which weighs 91.2.
Any thoughts on what the bullet is? It appears to be a bonded bullet.
