[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 1992021, member: 61747"] I just remembered a white tail doe I shot at 30 yards with a 300WM running 180 grain factory ammo. It was the first and last time I'd ever do that. It was an epic mess. I am glad I shot her in the ribs or I would have lost the entire front of the deer. On another note, I shot a mule deer with a 220 swift running 3900 in the chest and angle at 75. The exit hole was large. I've never seen any animal shot where there was only some sort of flesh wound due to an exploded bullet. I know it can happen on shoulder blades and ribs of elk but just haven't seen it personally. Most of the elk hunts I've guided the animals were under 200 and everything was on the ground if the shot was in the kill zone. Those that were lost or tracked for a distance were very poor shots.
