Deer Performance report on Nosler J4\'s
Well DC, Boyd I'll goto the other site to see your pics. Still catching up here as I got home last evening early but .. spent some time with the Honey
I took a management deer of sort this year and sacraficed my tag. this deer was a nice 6 point but had been hit by a can along the lines and had a shattered left rear leg. The deer had been loosing a tremendous amount of weight and I ended the suffering instantly. The deer was shot at about 80 yards with my 308. I was using the 168 grn Nosler J4 pushed at about 2700 fps.The deer was shot broadside. The exit wound was about 2" and the lungs/heart were shattered from the hydrolic concussion. I looked like crazy to try to find the bullet but could not. The ddeer took 1 step after impact but that might have been due to momentum as he was attempting to walk.
It did not apear that the bullet "exploaded" there were no fragments found of any significance inside the animal. (2 small, small pieces of copper) I would say this bullet mushroomed properly.
