All pictured were one shot kills.

I was using my guide’s rifle and ammo while in Greenland. They prefer FMJ as there is far less meat damage, as they are subsistence hunters.

Must have done the job. Did the bullet tumble or break up?

The bullets worked as designed, giving complete penetration straight trough without deformation. Virtual zero meat damage. Having an accurate rifle was an asset in perfect shot placement.
