[QUOTE="BEEMAN, post: 600309, member: 38130"] Shot a large buck this year at 30 yards. 140 grain hunting VLD 7 WSM. Killed the deer but the results were not to my liking. Hit behind shoulder were I was aiming and had between a softball and cantelope size entrance with no exit. Deer went 20 yards so I can't complain on killing ability. But I do believe the bullet blew up on impact. 2 broken ribs at entrance (deer was broadside), bullet hit dead center of deer and the heart was shot in half. there must have been fragments. What surprised me was the lack of damage to the lungs. I think without the fragment to the heart the results could of been different. I think I only got a few inches of penetration but impact velocity was right around 3200 fps. Not a fault to the bullet, I will just use something different in this area next year. [/QUOTE]
