[QUOTE="DavidleeCole, post: 1562599, member: 85306"] I gotta heavy blood trail for 200 yards and a small hand full of bone fragments he laid down then I did not listen to my buddy to sit n wait dude to the amount of blood. And pushed him up and got him moving again that's when we trailed then lost him I had a very good shoulder shot so very comfortable it hit his sholder bone. I don't shoot for that shot any longer just place the same like a bow shot. The 165 sst I shot a buck at 45 yards and her ran 90 yards into the brush bullet did not go clean through so no blood trail but did massage damage inside of the chest. The accubond and power point have always made pass through shots and dropped the deer quick. I wonder if bullet weight, construction and body weight has a big factor in the terminal performance of the round. To heavey a bullet on light animal and thick jacket at high speed does not dump its energy effectively or light bullet on heavy animal an thin jacket fast speed just blows up. I am not sure but I see things like this. [/QUOTE]
