[QUOTE="osok-1k, post: 3009103, member: 106259"] I agree with snox81 about bullet choice, had I loaded the Lehigh 110 controlled chaos I have and made the same shot it would likely have had a different outcome. The Hornady Black is a 123 match bullet that I think just came apart and never penetrated far enough. I say that because I shot a deer facing me in the white spot on the neck with the same loading which broke the spine but did not exit, he was DRT. I acknowledge that the Ham'r is not, nor was intended to be a longer range cartridge, probably 200 max in my mind but I have other rifles that excel at long range and if the environment dictates it, I'll use one of them or simply pass on an unethical shot.
