:tup:great job.... What caliber were you shooting? To me it looks like a .338mag. I have never recovered any bullets from my critters.  :dunno:

It's a .300WM.  Handloads with the old 180gr barnes X BT.  It's my pet load for that gun.  Can't get those bullets any more.  When I run out of them I'm going to need to figure something else out with a bunch of range work.  I started recovering a lot more slugs once I went to these bullets a number of years ago.  They tend to hold their mass pretty well and tumble once inside.  Animals never have gone very far after taking a body shot from one of these loads.
