[QUOTE="Jamie6.5, post: 571588, member: 16954"] You shot a buck at an abnormally close range and he dropped on the spot without taking another step, it broke a rib on entry and turned his lung tissue to jelly,... I have to ask, at what point did the bullet fail? Especially considering it was probably still moving in excess of 2800fps on impact? Sounds to me like it did it's job very well, considering that it didn't come apart until it destroyed the shoulder on the far side. Add another hundred yards to that range and it will be slowed down sufficiently to hold together and punch it's way out the other side. To me bullet failure means hours of tracking, not DRT.
