[QUOTE="willfrye027, post: 2028208, member: 114992"] I’ve been using 155gr scenars in my 30-06 this year and finally had a good test for them. Shot this young whitetail buck on my last day to hunt in Idaho. Shot placement was not good. I thought I was making a follow up shot (turns out first shot was a miss) as he looked back towards me, hard quartering away at an estimated 120 yards. Bullet hit him just in front of his hind quarter and did not exit. More or less, a Texas heart shot. It took me two hours to find the deer with very very little blood to work with, although he only went about 100 total yards from where I hit him. While butchering I found this tiny remnant of the lead core. Essentially I got bullet fragmentation and devastation in the body cavity. If I used a mono I think it would have exited and gave me a better blood trail...but maybe would not have killed so quickly. I think in the future I will 1) make a better shot and 2) use monos in the whitetail woods where blood trails may be needed [ATTACH type="full"]227050[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]227051[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
