[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 1021195, member: 52437"] This is in upstate New York. She was using factory federal fusion 95 grains. The weird thing about this bullet is 6 out of the 10 deer she has shot over the years (8 does and 2 bucks) did not pass through (all were under 275 yard shots, most under 200). All were perfectly mushroomed found on the offside just behind the skin. All deer but one dropped within 10yards of where she shot them. The other buck she shot was the one that made it further than 10 yards and was actually chasing a doe and was almost in a full jog about 80 yards away. She probably shouldn't have shot but she hit perfect right behind the shoulder. The buck made it about 50 yards but I think it was due to it already running. We almost did not find the buck as it died literally inside a bush and there was zero blood. This got me contemplating if she should step up to a larger caliber bullet like a 7mm-08 which will get her higher chance of pass throughs. [/QUOTE]
