Recovered bullets

[nastynate]

Got any? Any good stories? I’ve had nearly all pass throughs so don’t have many. Pictured are the two I’ve recovered. A 165 grain federal trophy copper 30-06 I dug out of the hillside after a broadside shot on a mule deer and a Barnes 50 cal TMZ I recovered out of a rear ham from a frontal shot on a whitetail. It heart shot that zipped through ribs, missed guts and ended up in the back ham, sliding along just under the hide, as best I could tell.

I have a drawer full around here somewhere. I have had elk stop more bullets under the hide than pass through. Most of my elk have been shot with a .30-06 and lead core bullets. Most were Speer Hot-Cor, a few were premiums. The Hot-Cor performs surprisingly well on elk. My .30-06 loads used to push 2900fps for a 180 grain. I finally realized that if you want a magnum, you should buy a magnum. A couple elk and many deer were killed with a 264 Win Mag and Sierra GK. Those frag and the most you ever find is a jacket if you are lucky.

I ate tag soup this year on elk, I'm really hoping to find out if a 358 Norma Mag passes through a moose or I recover a bullet.
