[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1718199, member: 69192"] My experience with light bullets going at fast speeds will do the type of damage that you have experienced with this bullet. To me that is hydrostatic shock, simple physics. If that deer had been shot with a 45-70 at that distance, the meat could have been eaten right up to the entrance hole. My experience with Barnes on black bear has been almost total destruction of a shoulder, or in the case of soft tissue massive hemorrhage on both the entrance and much more so on the exit hole; 225gr Barnes @2700fps (Whelen) and 180gr Barnes at 2800fps (30-06). I shot a 170lb doe @ 285yds with a 140gr Nosler partition bullet out of a 6.5 RemMag (3100fps), deer was facing me head on when I placed the shot center mass. Field dressing was quite simple as mostly everything inside ran out when the deer was opened. I would not be looking so much at the bullet, but more along the lines of muzzle velocity and shot placement. I have a .270 AI that I recently built, 150gr bullet @3300fps, that I intend to use on a deer hunt this year, I expect to experience the same meat damage on a deer. [/QUOTE]
