[QUOTE="hhonker74, post: 2083130, member: 70738"] I haven't shot deer with this round, but I did shoot 2 Pronghorn with it this year. Hornady Precision Hunter factory rounds. The first was a buck at 128 yards. The bullet hit just behind the right shoulder and exited. The buck ran about 400 yards and fell over. When I skinned it, it looked like the bullet hit the edge of a rib and keyholed out the other side. No expansion, just an oblong hole through the lungs. The doe was shot at 85 yards just behind the left shoulder and ran about 40 yards. Upon skinning it, the bullet exploded. It shredded the lungs. This round is amazingly accurate in my Savage 116, but I am concerned with the bullet performance. I will use it again because I have heard of a lot of success with it. I know up close, it will probably grenade, and I hope the keyhole was just a fluke. [/QUOTE]
