7mm08 sorry, the one occasion that changed my mind for sure was a stag broadside at 70m. Damage was extreme.
Basically all apart from the rear leg on the side facing was dog tucker. 139grain GMX. Bullet retention was weighed at 95%.
This stag ran 100m before I found him down, he needed finishing.

Wow that is just not what you normally hear/see with monolithics.......any reason you can think of why it performed this way?
Is it all all possible the projectile hit a branch or something en-route to target and actually hit the animal already expanded?
I have never yet managed to recover a 130ttsx even full length penetrations.
