I actually did recover the 225 Sierra right against the hide on the off shoulder. It was a quartering away angle, and I shot him in the short ribs angling forward to the opposite shoulder. About 22" of total penetration on a very heavily muscled/boned animal. I have the bullet in my collection. I followed that up immediately with the 250 Speer GS to make sure he didn't get up and start popping those tusks when we got up to him, plus I got to test out more than one bullet that way, without ruining very much meat. That bullet went clear through side to side like a hot knife through butter.
