Target bullets on bone pictures

[Ucsdryder]

One instance doesn’t prove much, but here’s an elk shoulder that was hit with a 180 eldm at 2300fps. Bullet had a full pass through. This is the offside shoulder, the onside shoulder blade also got hit.

If you have a picture of a target bullet on a bone, post it up.

Whitetail scapula
7mm 180gr hybrid @ 2350 impact velocity.
Bullet exited, leaving golfball sized hole. Deer dropped instantly.

Didn’t get a great pic of the bone itself but hopefully this works.

Doesn't take much to get through a scapula... Would be nice to see some solid leg bone hits

 

[brockel]

Are we considering a Berger vld hunting in the target category? Here’s a 6.5 140 grain Berger vld hunting started at 2820fps through a bull elk shoulder at 250 yards

The more pictures the better. That being said, an offside scapula after going through the onside shoulder is impressive IMO.

140gr eldm at 2600fps? (50yds). Elk onside shoulder

I’m assuming this counts.
77 TMK on a whitetail rib. Entrance on the right. Impact velocity about 2428.

Berger 140eh whitetail buck
2700ish impact. He stumbled 10yards

Will have some 135lrht and 105amax data by the end of the year also

 

[Roadrunner1]

Anyone still using A-Max bullets to hunt with?

This is an elk’s shoulder blade from a little over 500 yards with a 147 gr ELD-M out of a 6.5 PRC.

Lots of examples showing why I don't shoot animals in the shoulders.

 

[Marbles]

108 ELDM at about 2500 fps on a 6 year old mountain goat scapula. The scapula came out in pieces.


108 ELDM at about 2550 fps on 2 year old mountain goat ribs.

Three ribs on each side were pulverized. The third broken rib is hidden by the folded over meat. I say pulverized because rather than large pieces that could be identified, there was a slurry of small bone fragments through the entire wound channel.

Can't argue with that...

Ahh, the meat damage thread.

Ahh, the meat damage thread.

Nah. That isn't possible. I shoot a cartridge barely capable of killing elk, so there's no way it could damage a lot of meat.

Well, if you shoot them in the boiler room, I would agree.
