[QUOTE="LVJ76, post: 2569342, member: 108965"] My buddy's deer went down on bullet impact, so we though bang flop right? No. When we got to it it was on its last breaths. He hit it right behind the shoulder and bullet rested on offside shoulder, offside shoulder which was broken by the bullet. When we opened the deer the lungs didn't show much damage. Same thing with the Javelina and that's when I said no more. With the AMax, SST's, BT's, and my one Berger Hybrid experience, the vitals have been turned to smoosh, most drop right there or take a few steps and done. There have been of course some that take off on a dead run and shortly collapse. Of course with proper shot placement, can't blame the bullet for a poor shot, which I admit I have made some, and they we my fault. I'm not really looking for an exit wound, i want massive internal damage. That said I do usually get an exit with these soft bullets. Berger being the one that has left the biggest hole, about 4" wide, kit you not. A true window to the deer's insides. [/QUOTE]
