[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1413313, member: 12995"] No, it penciled it's way through... It could have been more of a physiological reason to it (like you described), but from my experiences, higher velocity cartridges (3,000+ FPS MV) have given me more bang-flops than lower velocity cartridges. So, my best guess for this instance, is that velocity shock to the CNS (of hitting heart & both lungs) is what caused the bang-flop for this deer, as she was calmly grazing with no stress, and none of the herd was spooked or aware of my presence (lots of years of stealth practice). There was a pencil in & out, and literally 1 drop of blood on the ground. When it was cut open, it was not catastrophic internal damage, like I'm used to with Bergers and with most other high-velocity impacts. It was like an arrow with a broadhead had been through the internals. Strange to say the least. [/QUOTE]
