Here is the 200 AB recovered from my brothers bull shot at 675 with his 1-8 twist 300 Win. Bullet entered just behind near front leg and was recovered mid ribs on the hide at the far side.







 
That is classic performance of a fine bullet. Excellent recovery. Did you make your brother dig for that after he was worn down by carrying out all that meat?
 
Picture perfect Scotty! Congratulations to your brother on his bull and his fine shooting.

No, this was pre meat carrying... what’s the sense in hunting with a young fella if you can’t raise cane a bit :mrgreen:

True dat. (y)
 
Looks really good. It seems the 180 and 200 30 cal AB's retain around 75% give or take and excellent expansion even at longer ranges.
 
They’re pretty darned good all arounders. They might be about as perfect as it gets as a more streamlined Partition. Wished they made some heavier ones for the 7mm to compete with the 200 AB.

Nice forensics Scotty. Was any bone encountered?

Not too much. The back of the front leg and a rib on the far side. Nothing torturous though to a bullet in my opinion.
