A forum member hunting in Oregon this week is having the same problem with Thors. Here is shooting 110 grains of T7 - they shot 3 elk and all of the bullets have penciled through. I think the longest shot was 60 yards, so the animal have been very close...'
Here is his post he put up..
We are hunting elk right now in Oregon and using Thro bullets , I have some questions and are we doing something wrong , We are getting pin hole pass threw's no expansion in the bullets ,, One of us was able to get a head shot on a yearling and I would expect a big exit hole ,,The 250 gr Thro bullet went straight threw the skull .500 hole in .500 hole out , It was originally hit left front shoulder bullet went threw shoulder down spine cut liver into out right side flank ,, Setup was a ,, CVA ML, 110 gr 3f Triple seven powder .
any help would be great ,,didn't retrieve bullets ,
I got to tell you I was really surprised with this example but in phone call to me I asked him very specific questions and everything points to penciling in all three Elk. It was a 247 gr. 501 Hollow Point.
