[QUOTE="Ga6570, post: 2655305, member: 108782"] I’ve been using barnes LRX bullets for about the last 7 years in the creedmoor. Never once in the many many deer and elk i’ve shot have i recovered a bullet. always a pass thru, as I've always taken broadside shots. Well fast forward to last saturday when i took a young man out hunting whitetails and he harvested his first deer with my rifle. he missed the first mostly broadside shot he had at about 100 yards due to his shaking😂 so when the deer was headed up a hill and away i was surprised when he took the 190 yard shot, but we heard impact. after about ten minutes as we started up the hill the buck came back towards us down the hill, my assumption is he wanted water and there was a spring halfway down the hill… He shot the buck through the neck facing us, breaking the neck/spine and anchoring the buck for good. tuesday when the deer was cut up the second hit - bullet - was recovered. i guess shooting lengthwise in a deer will stop the bullet!😬 after cleaning the flesh from the petals i measured and weighed it. Barnes LRX 127gr 6.5mm or .264” went through bone and lots of flesh. lost the blue tip and weighed 126.6gr expanded to .527” - doubled its diameter! nice to see these kind of details sometimes!
