[QUOTE="338weatherby, post: 2961233, member: 114213"] My daughter has taken two smaller bucks with her .243 and 70 grain HH's. Both ran about 30 yards. One was in about a foot of snow and there was not a hint of blood. I asked her if she was sure she hit it. Wrong thing to ask! I saw her mother in her when she corrected me for questioning her! 🤣 . With that much snow, it was easy to find. It was running dead, looked like it just dropped on a dead run with both front legs totally tucked under it. Looked like it dove into the snow. The other one she got this year dropped, got up and ran off. No snow. Lots of blood where it dropped but not any for 20 yards. Then noticed blood on small trees about 2'-3' off of the ground. It was piled up just past that point. Both were lung shots and massive damage internally. Liver shredded on one and nothing but jelly above diaphram. Our smaller bucks are decent size when comparing to the Southern deer I'm told. Dressed weight on one was 155 the other 125. I like the load and she shoots it well. 3600fps and no recoil. I think I'll stick with it. [/QUOTE]
