[QUOTE="North Idaho Hunter, post: 1665340, member: 73428"] [USER=7999]@RockyMtnMT[/USER] that mirrors my results with the Barnes Lrx 127 gr. Launched @ 3300fps. Large entrance wounds with same size exits. Heck, the deer I killed last year I shot quartering away - less than 100 yards. It had a grapefruit size entrance hole 1 inch inside the ribs taking out 3 ribs! Made for a mess due to popping the paunch. One neat 50 cent exit hole just in front of offside shoulder. These LRX launched @ this velocity give Great blood trails, however, they cause deep hemorrhaging between the hide and rib cage! Something We’ve never ran into before. One elk shot perfect behind the crease there was blood from hind quarter up to front shoulder! While you could save all the meat all the way to the bullet hole you had a lot of scraping of the blood clots off the meat. It became a pain with 3 elk and 2 deer. It would take quite a bit of time to clean off all the blood from the meat. None of them took much more then 10-20 steps though so I’m thinking this may just be a trade off. I can only explain the large amount of blood between the hide and rib cage due to the high velocity impacts. [USER=13632]@bigngreen[/USER] have you ran into this before? There is no actual blood shot or lost meat around the wound. Just a ton of blood! Thick clotted, sticky mess! [/QUOTE]
