I know we have the .223, .243/6mm, .25 and 6.5. Why not one for the big cartridges?
Post pictures of of internal damage with anything above 6.5 PRC.

.270, 7 Mag/PRC, .308, .30-06, .300 Mag…..

Cartridge, MV, impact velocity, and what bullet would be perfect.

The more pictures the better.
Entrance, exit and what it looked like in between. 😁

And no, I don’t have any to contribute. 😁
Most recent with > 6.5. 178gr ELD-X launched at 2700fps. 410 yards. DRT. No exit.

Been using DRT bullets this yr. I am massively impressed. I'm using .264 147 gr and have dropped three animals with them from 40-420 yards. 40 yds 3 steps, 205 yds bang flop, 420 yds bang flop. They have shot very accurately and precise to 700 on 10" steel. No exit on any of the animals and extreme internal trauma.

Glad I'm not the only one who's not a fan of grinding burger meat in the field.

200yds, 300wm, 200gr terminal ascent.

Normally a clean pass through, but this quartering shot was too high (or just right for those that like spine shots, but who don't like backstrap)

Both deer shot directly in the heart with a 20 gauge 260 grain accutip. Left one shot at 85 yards ran 100 yards bleeding all over. Right one shot at 50 yards ran 30 yards never lost a drop of blood.

Cow elk at 185 yards, quartering away with 7-08.
46.5gr SB 6.5
162 ELDX
Impact velocity ~2,425ish

Bullet entered in the right side crease behind the shoulder, destroyed the heart, both lungs, and completely shattered the far side humerus after exiting the chest cavity. There was no exit and bullet was found under offside hide. The cow lunged up on impact, took a couple quick steps down mountain, stiffened, and staggered a couple paces up mountain before collapsing. Total time from shot to being down was less than 5 seconds.

@jjohnsonElknewbie.
Awesome pictures. Pretty definitive of what good bullets are capable of with that being the offside humorous. 😁
Thank you and my daughter shoots that rifle lights out. Chopped 18" Tikka with SWFA 3-15 in Sportsmatch rings on factory dovetail. With LA bolt stop and LA mags it is a shooter with .75-1.25 10 shot groups the norm.
