[QUOTE="Daveinjax, post: 881206, member: 48429"] If she had been a bigger animal she wouldn't have gone as far but the heavy bullet cut a big hole and then took a bunch of the energy with it as it left. I had a small mule deer run 100+ yards two weeks ago with my 7mm wsm and 168 berger classic hunting bullets. Cut a big hole through the middle of both lungs but only jellied the area right around the channel. I usually carry my 7-08 with 140gr hunting vlds and I would expect the whole lungs to pour out as liquid with it and the bullet to not exit. Ideal for me is to find the bullet under the far hide with half or less of the weight retained. When that happens the animal is drt in my experience. Either bullet and way will work but I don't like to track animals. [/QUOTE]
