I did recover the two bullets from the oryx.
Sorry for the bad mobile-photo..
The right bullet went through the stomach, and was weighted 153grs (70% weight retention)
The left one went through both shoulders, thouched the spine and was found against the skin. It was 127grs( 58% wr)
The 8x68S was also used to bag a zebra, blesbuck, impala, duiker and a jackal. All one-shot kills.. The zebra ran 60 meters before it fell, and the smaller animals all fell like struck by lightning
Quite a lot of weight loss, which would not be unexpected with the Woodleigh bullet in a fast 8x68S. However your results speak for themselves.
