This isn't a group out of an Alaskan but it is a group from a .375 Ruger at 200 meters.:dancingbanana::dancingbanana:

Round nose bullets make extremely clean holes smart guy.....

Could be, but I've shot round nose bullets in a number of different rifle calibers and never got that clean a cut hole with any of them. The only bullets that have cut that clean a hole for me have been wadcutters or semi-wadcutters in handgun calibers.

Me too, hence my comment. When I get back to civilization i'm gonna load some round nose bullets for one of my rifles and investigate this new information.

Your target board or the medium behind your target could make some difference but even so, those look like pretty clean holes for a round nose bullet. I was at the range today shooting some 303Br reloads using 174gr FMJ's that had been pulled from military ammo. In addition I had three old 303's loaded with the Hornady 174gr RN. While the hole they punched was a little sharper than the military FMJ's, still wasn't as sharp as what was pictured here. Again, the target board or medium behind the target will make a difference and what I had today was three ply plywood.
 
Hey!
It's the NEW KING!
Those bullets all wear sharp, pointy little gold crowns; how else do you think the edges of those holes got so sharp? Even near misses kill stuff deader'n a frozen horse turd.
Damn dummies!
Don't know nothin'.
Humbug!.:mad:

The New King; designed especially for Queens...:D

How do we know what shape bullet made the holes in the target, or what the target material is?

I'm assuming the cartridge pictured laying on the target is the ammo used. And as I've made mention of, the medium, behind the paper target, would make a difference on the sharpness of the hole cut by the bullet.
 
Since we dont know, we could assume that it was made by a UFO, too.:D

Anyway, the bullet in the pic is a solid. They usually make pretty neat holes. It doesn't really matter...round nose bullets are just as accurate as pointy ones at closer ranges like 200 yards.

Well, It could be a solid but it doesn't look like it to me.

Or, as you've suggested, it could've been ,made by a UFO, but it still looks like an exposed soft point to me.

Johnn, did you print that, write on it with a pen and rescan? Looks like blue ink to me (since we are questioning photos at this point):D

I did, just to emphasise my point that to me it looks like a RN softpoint and not a solid, or a UFO. The nose shape and colour of the jacket almost looks like the 'old' Norma 270gr bullet.
 
Hmm, could be SP..I was going bythe solid unbroken copper colour on the side of the bullet that indicated a solid to me, but who knows. We still don't knwo if the bullet int he pic made the holes in the target, either.:p
