[QUOTE="CMP70306, post: 1434542, member: 36999"] Below is the picture of the 145gr brass controlled chaos bullet I recovered from my buck, it was fired from a 30-06 with a MV of 3040 fps. The buck was almost facing me on at 50ish yards and maybe twenty ft below in elevation. The base was found past the lungs above the liver while I was gutting it. The lungs were jelly but all the fragments stopped before the diaphragm and none punctured the guts. The buck simply tipped over dead as far as I could tell through the brush. When shot broadside I never recover the base as it exits along with a good number of the particles. The exit hole typically looks like a small shotgun blast with a 1" or so exit and a 2" diameter shrapnel zone of bloodshot rib meat. Blood trails are wide and deer only run between 20 and 40 yards. Have not tested on neck shots as all the deer were moving except my buck and there was no way I was neck shooting the biggest buck I'd ever seen while hunting knowing what the exit would look like. For a close range bullet I have been impressed with their performance on game which has resulted in nothing but quick ethical kills. However based on their numbers they should only work out to 300 yds or so with a MV of 3040 and a range safety factor because of the unconfirmed BC. Due to this I'm switching my primary hunting rifle over to the 178gr ELD-X due to a chance at 350 to 600yd shots across our buddies field. The Lehighs will instead be my primary bullet in my 1895 Carbine which I only hunt with in thick cover. [/QUOTE]
