[QUOTE="dakor, post: 58681, member: 2204"] Well I shot Three Whitetail Doe's last week with this bullet and now have mixed feelings about it. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] The first Doe I shot was at 30 yards ( Wind was 25+ Miles an hour so no Long Range this day) running broadside when the bullet hit her all I seen was a red mist and and she went about 40 yards and went down hard. I have never seen blood fly like that from a deer being shot I was impressed . I went up to her and I hit her right where I wanted just behind the shoulder about half ways up from the brisket. After skining her I examined the bullet holes. On the enterance side it was about the size of a penny and on the exit side it was about like a 50 cent piece. I thought great I know have a bullet that shoots well and holds together well and really puts a hurt on the deer. Now for the next deer.
