[QUOTE="catamountsierra, post: 1508162, member: 79865"] I put my deer down a week ago, again using the 150 LRAB. Good sized doe at 175, but the bullet seems to have exploded much more violently than it did on the elk. Neck shot, with 3/4"ish exit hole, but the entrance was messy. Originally about 1/2" when I walked up, it tore out while I was dragging the deer back to the truck and revealed a 6" diameter pocket of absolutely shredded meat. Given that that was the only meat lost, I can live with that, but I do wonder about consistency on game. I have a feeling that the ideal hit with this bullet would be between the front side ribs, straight through heart and lungs, and then hitting a solid bone on the other side to blow the bullet apart.
