[QUOTE="dirtytough, post: 1512600, member: 6597"] I was solo and didn't take pics once I started cutting so no pics of my bullet hole. I am shooting a 7ss [USER=61070]@3000fps[/USER]. 8 twist. 180 ELD M. 350 yards. Buck was quartering towards me. 15-20 degree down hill angle. I shot just in front of the shoulder. It looked like the bullet glanced off the ribs. It destroyed part of the front shoulder including part of the shoulder bone. At the angle it should have never even hit the bone there with where it entered. No bullet recovery cause I wasn't digging through guts. No exit. I do have pics though from my wifes buck. Same setup but 413 yards. Almost perfectly horizontal.

I would have thought I would have found blood in snow in the first 30 yards? I looked at the spot again a few days after she shot and her deer ran about 70 yards after the shot. Yes the animals all died. But what happens when I make a mistake and don't hit an animal perfect? What happens if I didn't see the impact on my wifes buck? We would have walked over and looked for blood. If I don't find blood in the snow I'm going to assume a miss. I figure that I might as well shoot the rest of these at targets then I might try the 195's or something. [/QUOTE]
