[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1513139, member: 10178"] Sounds like a typical heart shot deer no matter what it was shot with. They are dead but most of the time it takes them running 50 or so yards for that message to get to their brain. If you want to drop them in their tracks use a high front shoulder shot. Yep the 6.5 Grendel is a good one. Killed a deer a couple weeks ago with one. Used a hand loaded 120 Speer Gold Dot, Hornady case, 28 grs IMR 8208, CCI 450 out of my 20" barrel AR does 2550 fps. Smoked the deer at 111 yards. Shot was to center of chest facing me. Deer dropped and did a little break dance and died. The hydrostatic effect of the bullet pulped the heart and lungs and broke the first 2 to 3 ribs on both sides and broke the left scapula but bullet held together going completely through the gut and exited the belly about 6 inches in front of the crotch with about a thumb size hole. I have killed hundreds of deer with about most everything between a stick and 45-70 with many different makers bullets but I have never seen the type of effect that these Gold Dot bullets deliver. It seems that the bullet expands violently upon impact but holds together and exits. The Gold Dots might not have the highest ballistic coefficient but they seem to be awesome killers. [/QUOTE]
