We butchered my buddy's elk last night and in it's rump we found a bullet from an old wound that was healing.. We guess that it was shot earlier this season. Fortunately we only had to cut out very little meat.

Anyhow it's a .277 lead bullet with a 'T' stamped on the base.. It was a heavy bullet, mushroomed it weighed 134 grains..

We are just curious and want to know the bullet manufacturer..

Thanks..

This bullet is a Trophy Bonded Bear Claw. It started out weighing 140 grains, and typically retains close to 100% of its weight. One of those bullets where the jacket and lead core are soldered together into one homogenous unit. They are nearly indestructable, and generally mushroom to a big frontal diameter.

Thanks Roskoe...

yeah but who shot it out of what gun? lol just kidding.

Well, we KNOW it wasn't Elmer Keith! Perhaps Jack O'Connor, using his favorite .270 WIN???

That is actually a good bullet for elk.
