Default RE: recovered bullets
ORIGINAL: AZBear

Recovered T/C shockwave 250 grain Bonded bullet. It was found on the off side between the ribs and the right front shoulder blade of a cow elk taken at 52 yards. It weighed 202.5 grains (81% retained weight).As you can see it opened up to about the size of a quarter.

That is very good expansion and retained weight. Did all the petals stay on the bullet? Are they thick petals or rather thin? This was a regular SST right. Chap Gleason
