[QUOTE="LVJ76, post: 2416986, member: 108965"] We've found that partitions can be too hard for coues deer, that's why I called it shooter error. We changed to behind the shoulder shots and they didn't work as well anymore. Trying to save meat. On coues and javelinas we've always had partitions exit, they are small and doesn't take much to go through those small bodies. Even the SST's, Ballistic Tips and Gamekings will go through them. I have little experience with Bergers, but they also exited. Now here is a story on an accubond, which you would think would give an exit wound. My buddy hit a deer broadside with a 140gr AB out if his 270 WSM and impact was 80 yds. Bullet entry was behind the shoulder with little damage to lungs and stuck on hide of opposite side. At that close range you would think that bullet would've gone through the deer but no. Deer only took a couple of seconds to go down. We walked to it and it was still breathing. Slow death, and surprised of the poor penetration and lack of damage to lungs by an Accubond. [/QUOTE]
