RE: What distance for complete pass through
Hmmm... I've shot a number of deer , antelope and caribou with my .280 and 140 grain ballistic tips launched at appx 3000 FPS...
On a broadside, ribcage shot, I have always got complete penetration...
If shoulder or spine was hit, usually the remains of the bullet would be under the hide on the offside..
Hope this helps..
