180 gr accubond with 124.8 gr retained weight
Through both front shoulders on bull moose

Recovered a 175 gr 7mm ELDX from my 7 SAUM last week on a black tail. Lost the recovered bullet so no photos but only found the copper case on far side hide. Lead core was where to be found.

Yep.....here's a 143gr ELD-X that separated on a small doe at 375 yards and both were found against the offside hide about 5" apart on a perfectly broadside shot. I thought for sure on a small doe the bullet would have passed through.


And here's a 338gr Powerbelt Platinum that was against the offside hide on a broadside shot from 30 yards on a big bull. It weighed 199gr. These were both from my daughter.

I have a 30 cal 200gr eldx that I shot a bull behind the shoulder with at about 180 yards. 2850 muzzle velocity. Recovered Bullet looks just like your first one, just a flatten jacket with a bit of lead.

250 grain Thor from a Whitetail doe the other day, plus its blood trail. Actually passed through completely, and was recovered about 4" into the divot in the ground it created. Retained virtually 100% mass other than the plastic expansion tip. Impact velocity circa 1650.

Must have been hell to track lol

 

[rayporter]

all these are speer grand slams except the one on the right. one was recovered from a moose and the rest from elk.
2 of the elk were shot in the ass after being shot in the chest [when they turned to run]-
both of those were found in the heart.


the one on the right is not mine. i shot the bull in the chest and when i went up to him i could see a patch of hair gone and a lump. i cut out the right hand bullet then i kept cutting and found my bullet. the animal was healed and had no scar tissue at all around the bullet.
they are 180 gr 30 cal speer grand slams.

What caliber are those?

 

[rayporter]

sorry
180 gr speers
the end one is a 30 cal also -at one time i had weighed them all. they retained wt well.
i also have a collection of shotgun slugs removed from deer but have not catalog them.
needless to say that they hold up well.

Those all look pretty darn good. Exactly what I'd expect from a bonded bullet.

308 eldx
Shorty 308 a few years ago at 320. Not sure of the impact velocity but it wasn't going too quick. Quarting to shot found in the off side ham.

4 of the 5 375 H&H Barnes put into a moose at 200 yards.

Oh man, what animal was it and how far did it go?

 

[sram9102]

Decent whitetail buck. Took the top off his heart on the way through. Took about 3 steps. Probably more of an angled frontal than a quartering too.

a story

a bud was getting ready to hunt and was testing bullets. he had a collection of 30 cal and used soaked news paper. the grand slams went to pieces in the news print as did most others. he chose nosler partitions. dont remember if he got any thing. dont think so.

143 ELD-X
200 yards
Not sure what it weighs but all the lead is gone.




You can see the entrance. No exit and found bullet in front of the offside hip, lodged in the flesh after breaking the ribs.

He never moved from where I shot him.

Awww, I should have dug around more and found my lead.
