[QUOTE="MAF47, post: 1634947, member: 21410"] The basic condition for a good terminal effect with a target bullet is to hit some bone, in order to get the right expansion by these bullets with a ticker jacket. That said, some years ago I had the same experience as in your thread, when I shot a young red deer at short distance (100 yds or so). The bullet hit the deer between the ribs. Same position of the exit hole. The deer started moving into the bush: impossible to double the shot. The deer dropped dead at short distance. Both the holes were very small, with no expansion. Even here, the lungs were mostly liquefied. I was very diasppointed: I shot with a 7mm and the bullet was a 140 gr. Nosler Ballistic Tip!... [/QUOTE]
