[QUOTE="Bbear, post: 1242437, member: 7898"] Ran a LRAB 142gr 6.5 through my 6.5x55 Swede. MV=2794. Impact on a 120 lb live weight axis doe @ 109 yards. Impact is estimated at 2690 or so. Entrance was just behind the shoulder: [URL=http://s1072.photobucket.com/user/Bbear53/media/6.5%20exit.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1072.photobucket.com/albums/w376/Bbear53/6.5%20exit.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Exit was through the shoulder blade on the off side: [URL=http://s1072.photobucket.com/user/Bbear53/media/6.5%20entry.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1072.photobucket.com/albums/w376/Bbear53/6.5%20entry.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Exit wound is just over 1" diameter, little meat loss. I'm in agreement that 3200 is a bit high. A friend shot a Texas Hill Country whitetail doe at approximately 125 yards with his 270. (I don't remember what bullet he was using, I think a regular CNC-style bullet) Slight downward angle on the shot. The bullet entered midway on the shoulder and exited 3" behind the same shoulder. Knocked the doe down. She got back up and he managed another shot the anchored her. Upon inspection, the initial shot was redirected off of the shoulder blade but did not exit! He found it next to the ridge on the shoulder blade. His second shot was behind the same shoulder and exited behind the off shoulder. He went back and started his reloading process again. [/QUOTE]
