[QUOTE="edge, post: 232792, member: 5030"] NO, YOU ARE WRONG! How is that for a conversation! Don't be stupid, I said that since you did not find the animal you can't know whether the bullet failed or you failed! Quite honestly, if you hit it at 45 yards as you say, then I bet that it was you...but I don't know for sure either! Personally I bet that you only took out one lung FROM YOUR DESCRIPTION! A quartering deer generally requires a more forward impact area then a broadside shot, and depending on the steepness of that shot, should be aimed at the onside leg and not the LUNG REGION as you described! You said that the buck was quartering to you, which implies that it was moving which probably moved the bullet further back than you anticipated! Since you did not recover the animal it is ridiculous to blame the bullet! Do bullets fail? Of course they do! Did yours, nobody knows :) edge. PS as a side note, I unloaded an Accubond at about 45 yards also. 30 Caliber 150 grains at over 3000 fps. I shot at a tree and the Accubond went through it, but as luck would have it it centered a second tree about 5 yards further on and I had my portable sawzall with me. The first tree was 47 yards and about 6 inches across. Impact velocity was probably about 2950 to 3000 fps. I did nick the bullet cutting it out of the tree, but it weighed 107 grains or 71% of its weight, a bit over 1/2 inch across, and a near perfect bonded mushroom! edge.
