[QUOTE="Louisiana Reloader, post: 2988791, member: 123382"] Thanks for the input and I agree with you 100% on all fronts. From my own experience plus what I hear from others, it is exactly as you say: the lighter ABLR tend to not exit and the heavier ones do. One thing I forgot to mention that was very important (can’t believe I forgot this) is that the buck I shot with the 142 gr ABLR was slightly quartered facing me. Bullet entered a touch high on the front left shoulder and stuck just under the hide on the opposite side (you could feel it) about 1/2 way back from the right shoulder. For a 142gr ABLR I consider this pretty good penetration. I would bet that if the deer was standing broad side I probably would have gotten an exit. If you look at the picture of the bullet I posted, I think it did pretty well and functioned as designed. And the most important thing to me is he dropped and I made a trip to the processor and taxidermist. Thanks again for your feedback. [/QUOTE]
