My pic is also elk scapulas and also lost the core.
In my mind the only way I can see a bullet skipping vs penetration is on a super hard quartering shot and the shot being wide of the pocket.....or at incredible velocity.
I've parked a lot of 140 class bullets in elk and they tend to push deep.
Are you telling me you believe the grey thing slammed into that muscle at 1900 fps (speed they stated in the video) and stopped after going through the hide only without even going full depth into the muscle? (edit, and per the video makers claim that grey thing weights 175 gr).Wait, I thought photographic evidence was the unassailable, holy grail, be-all-end-all in questions of terminal ballistics, or does that hinge on the thread in which it is posted?
I’ve found cup & core match bullets to be MUCH more consistent killers than a bonded bullet. Bonded & monos have much narrower wounds. Similar to the FMJ you mentionedNon bonded cup and core bullets are inherently inconsistent terminal performers. They come apart relatively easily, so they will have a higher frequency of failure. That doesn’t mean they 100% fail…just that the design is more failure prone than a bonded bullet or a monolithic bullet.
the Sierra Match King is notorious for both explosively fragmenting…and not fragmenting at all. If you look at the hollow point, they are all shaped slightly different. Every once in a while, you get one where the tip bends shut on impact and it penetrates like a fmj ball round or tries to turn/tumble.

Look man if he wanted more than skin-deep penetration then he should have used a magnum.Are you telling me you believe the grey thing slammed into that muscle at 1900 fps (speed they stated in the video) and stopped after going through the hide only without even going full depth into the muscle?

Bulletproof shoulder muscle, that elk was yolked out of its mind. I think we can all take a lesson from that in our workout goals for 2024.With ZERO blood shot or bruising.

Serious question, because I don't know. Is it "yolked" as in been eating a lot of egg yolks, or is it yoked as in the implement to harness a team of oxen?Bulletproof shoulder muscle, that elk was yolked out of its mind. I think we can all take a lesson from that in our workout goals for 2024.
From the looks of it people used yolked and yoked interchangeably to mean jacked/ripped/etc. But yoked seems like it would fit better even if it looks uglier as a word compared to yolked.Is it "yolked" as in been eating a lot of egg yolks, or is it yoked as in the implement to harness a team of oxen?
Thanks, I learned something from this thread after all.From the looks of it people used yolked and yoked interchangeably to mean jacked/ripped/etc. But yoked seems like it would fit better even if it looks uglier as a word compared to yolked.

They're a pretty solid source when they agree with the laws of physics.It must be true, there are pictures on RS. And pictures on RS can't be questioned....even a little bit.
Wait, I thought photographic evidence was the unassailable, holy grail, be-all-end-all in questions of terminal ballistics, or does that hinge on the thread in which it is posted?

Pictures on here are questioned, frequently. They are questioned even when they line up with all the facts and are supported by multiple different accounts.It must be true, there are pictures on RS. And pictures on RS can't be questioned....even a little bit.

I will take your statement as an affirmative to my question.
How do we know that was even one of their bullets?…and not a bullet from someone else?I have no idea what happened with their bullet since I wasn't there, but I know bullets on rare occasions do things you would never expect. I don't care one way or the other what happened to them. I just find it funny reading all the RS "enlightened" posting screeds against this photographic evidence while posting the opposite screeds in the .223 thread whenever someone questions that photographic evidence. I guess I just enjoy watching displays of hypocrisy and lack of intellectual integrity, especially by those who come across as believing they are above it all.
