[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 307336, member: 10178"] I have shot only one medium size white tail doe last year with a 155 gr VLD from my 30X47 HBR at 2650 fps at 107 yards. The bullet entered the center of the front shoulder and exited the center of the off side shoulder. The deer took off like it had not been hit and was found about 40 yards away. The exit hole was big enough to drop a base ball into. When I got to the spot the deer was standing when I shot it you could see blood and lung pieces scattered for 5 yards all over the bushes and ground on the off side. When I skinned the deer out what was left of it's vitals was mush. I will never understand how an animal can take such a destructive hit and still run off 40 yards. But again I did for the first time ever in over 150 deer I have take with a 25-06 Rem have a medium size doe git up off the ground and run off about 40 yards. It was hit in the center of the front shoulder with a 117 Sierra Pro Hunter at 3150 fps at the same crossing that the above deer was shot at. It dropped like a ton of brick fell on it like they uselly do, but then it jumped up and took off. I think these deer were taking tough pills or something last year. [/QUOTE]
