[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 528206, member: 10178"] I have only killed one deer with a 155 gr .308 VLD at 2650 fps muzzle velocity out of my 30X47 HBR rifle. It was an average 150 lb doe at 111 yards. Deer was broadside and bullet was placed in the center of the right front shoulder. At the shot the deer flinched a little and took off on a dead run into a thick cut over. Upon arrival at the spot were the deer was standing when shot there was a line of blood and lung tissue spray 2 feet wide and about 5 yards long on the offside. I am a very experienced tracker and I did not find one single drop of blood until I came upon the deer approximately 50 yards away. I guess the reason for no blood trail was you need something to pump it out with. The vitals were liquefied and there was an exit hole big enough to drop a baseball into. I can not understand how a deer with that much damage could go 50 yards.
