[QUOTE="tooth doc, post: 1754457, member: 52018"] My first year huntinh with my new 300 wsm shooting 150 gr factory ammo. Shot a big doe at 80 yds broadside in center of shoulder. Figured she was done so stayed in stand and shot 2 more deer before coming out of stand to start field dressing. This was in wisconsin and i had 4 doe tags, temps wrre in low teens. Whrn i went to the first deer she was nowwhere to be found, not enough bloid to follow and way to many tracks as she was in a group of about 20 deer. This was about 9 am. Latter that pm as we did a drive acrooss the hillside 250 300 yds away. The doe had a 6 inch crater in center of her shoulder that had zero penetration through the scapula. Trauma and blood loss eventally killed her, not anyyhing like you would expect. I have used barnes 168 tsx ever since and never had a failure. In this case too much velocity at close range the bullet did LITERALLY EXPLODE! [/QUOTE]
