Remaining bullet after Elk kill- Nosler 180gr Accubonds 300WM

What did the bullet weigh once you pulled it out? How much weight was retained?

Finally weighed them. The uniformed one is 140 gr and the messed up looking one is 119 gr.

I shot my 6x6 bull in 2009 with a 270 with federal blue box 150gr soft point at maybe 40 yards and it didnt exit. Win mod 70 20inch barrel. Same with a cow in 2013. Sorry, no pics pics or weights.

I took a 4x4 Roosevelt elk last November at about 60 yards using a .308 with a 165 grain Hornady SST. 1 shot behind the shoulder did the trick. I recovered the bullet in the hide on the opposite side. It expanded very well, much like your first bullet. Recovered weight was a around 140 grains.
