[QUOTE="CMP70306, post: 1671891, member: 36999"] I have some experience with the brass versions of the Lehigh Controlled Chaos and have killed a total of 4 deer with them all using the 145gr out of a 30-06 at 3040 fps with impacts around 70 yards. The first doe was a double lung shot and ran maybe 20 yards into the brush at dark leaving a blood trail I could easily follow with my phone light. Caliber sized entry and exit with a bloodshot area approximately 2” in diameter on the inside of the ribs from the shrapnel. Doe number 2 was at a high angle shooting down hill, made a rushed shot as she turned toward the property edge and my shot clipped the top edge of the vertebrae and left a 1” diameter hole on the top of the back. She rolled down the hill and bled out in less than 30 sec. My buck was hit low in the chest heavily quartered towards me while it was slightly above me in elevation. He dropped stone dead, bullet destroyed the lungs but didn’t break the diaphragm and I found the base next to the spine just in front of the left hip. [ATTACH=full]141122[/ATTACH] The third doe was another double lung shot that exited low due to the angle, similar performance as the first but larger exit hole due to the shorter cross section. She ran maybe 30 yards and I took a picture of the blood trail and the deer, you can can see the same tree top center in the background of both pictures. [ATTACH=full]141123[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]141129[/ATTACH] Personally they have killed everything I’ve ever shot with them either immediately or in quick fashion but the brass ones have a much higher expansion velocity that limits the range to 300yds or less which isn’t really an issue where I hunt.
