Just got back off a elk hunt where three elk were taken with 300 ultra mag, 308 warbird, and 7mm ultra mag. Here's the results.

First bull taken was with 7mm ultra mag less than 100yds. Three off the bullets were recovered. 160 gr accubonds. All the bullets where mushroomed and appeard to have atleast 75% of their original weight. All the bullets where recovered on the opposite side of the entry wound stuck in the hide. One through the shoulder, one through the ribcage, and one through the jaw. I found it odd that the speed of the bullet would stop inside the animal at that range. Especially beings the bullet didn't blow up and stayed together. Everything seemed to be perfect except for the fact that the bullets acually didn't pass through the animal at close range at such velocity's. Anyother experience's like that?

Second bull was taken with 308 warbird 180 barnex triple shock bullets. All three bullet passed through the elk and seemed to have expanded causing adequate tissue damage and bone breaking power. This bull was shot at near 200yds. First time to see the results of tsx on elk it passed the test and would like to see some long range tests in the future.

Third bull which actually was a bull calf.lol. Was shot at 125yds with a 300 ultra mag using 180gr remingtion premiere core lokts. Lets just say it only took one shot. lol.

Anyway that was some ultra mag tests on elk. I'm very curious about the 7mm ultra mag not passing through the elk at under 100yds and the bullet still staying intact.

Anyone care to enlighten me on some reason's why the 7mm ultra did not pass through?
