[QUOTE="Stammster, post: 1970142, member: 114381"] I think the OP is hoping for a bolt of lightning, rather than a .277 bullet. A couple of years ago I was hunting with a buddy in Pennsylvania one morning after 12” of fresh snow (powder). I kicked out a 100 lb doe that ran by him about 100 yards away. He shot it with a 130 gr Sierra Gameking. After it was hit, that doe ran for 200 yards, spraying blood in both directions 30-40 ft. It looked like a mass murder, but by far the easiest tracking job ever. I swear that deer had 5 gallons of blood loss. Perfect boiler room shot - small hole in, 1” exit. I’m sure pretty much every other bullet would have done the same thing. A mortally wounded adrenaline filled deer -on its last breath - can make some distance. Unless you shoot them in the nervous system, DRT is just luck. I also don’t shoot deer in the front shoulders. Doing so, you lose 25% of the meat. [/QUOTE]
