[QUOTE="Mattbowen61990, post: 2427381, member: 88611"] I haven't had a failure in all my years of hunting, but I have had 1 really strange bullet behavior. 127 Barnes LRX out of a 6.5 CM: I shot at a buck that was facing to the left from me, deer is also located to the left of the stand. I waited until he was broadside(ish) and aimed for behind the left shoulder. Now for what "should" have happened, the bullet should have entered where it did (right behind the left shoulder, and continue across the body, and end up coming out a little forward and in the right shoulder. What happened? The bullet entered behind the left shoulder midway up the deer in the ribs, made a drastic turn right and down, and exited down by his last few ribs at the very bottom of the rib cage on the right side. All that was contacted was hide, ribs, lungs, and ribs again. Was the craziest thing I have ever seen, but I was glad I seen him fall within sight because he didn't bleed a drop. Have never seen a barnes make a drastic turn like that. [/QUOTE]
