Killed an elk at 380yds, 2360ish fps. Hit low/heart and broke offside leg and exited on the first shot, no autopsy photos. Mule deer at 350yds, 2555fps. Photos; exit, entrance, bullet caught under hide.
I've made ground meat jerky in a dehydrator using a fruit leather tray. Basically make a large, thin sheet of jerky meat that fits the round trays, dehydrate and then cut into strips with a scissors after dried. Way easier to handle.
