[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2342334, member: 109862"] Craziest surprise like that came to me a number of years ago. My “brush load” back when I believed in such things 😁 was a 220 hornady round nose in my 300 win mag doing 2800 fps. Shot a buck at 60-80 yards running quartering away from me - not running because of me, had no idea I was there, probably had no idea what was 5 feet on either side of him, was in hot pursuit of a doe and had one thing on his mind I guess. Entered the paunch sort of, traversed the entire chest cavity, but the bullet broke at the cannelure into two separate pieces pretty much on impact from the look of things, both chunks of bullet found just against the inside of the bone of the front shoulder. Crazy destruction inside. I have never seen a kill that instant that didn’t hit the cns or even break a single bone. It was an instant off switch, you heard that heavy thump (round noses just plain hit different at close range, you can’t convince me otherwise) and his legs just gave out while running, the thing flipped end over end and lay in the heap it skidded to a stop in, a loud crash. Didn’t even twitch once. The most dead right there hit I’ve seen, and again, no spine hit, not a single broken bone. I still don’t know what to think of the various hydraulic shock theories but this event stands out. Anyways, I was floored that a 220 grain round nose interlock didn’t exit a whitetail deer that didn’t even hit bone anywhere. [/QUOTE]
