Not happy with 156 EOL

[Dmagna]

Not very happy with the performance, had a good hit in a whitetail. Didn't seem to be a ton of internal damage. Took out one lung , good shot placement. Ran 200 yards, then piled up. Didn't seem to perform like I wanted it to, will try it again on a doe to hopefully change my opinion.

I'm assuming a exit wound. What size was the exit hole. What positioning to you was the deer. Was it broadside, facing you, looking away or what? Where was the entry point and then exit?

More details might help,,, what kind of mess did it do to the in-side,,,

Was a shoulder bone involve in the hit,,, did the bullet clip a rib bone...

200 yards as it dropped is pretty good,,, that a lot less distance then a 1/2 to 2 mile chase...

Sometimes critters drop on the spot,,, sometimes they suck it up a bolt...

Cheers from the North

The bullet didn't hit a bone on the way in. I don't think a whitetail should have ran 200 yards with a hit like that. There was no exit and I haven't found the bullet yet, I have shot deer with the 140 and had better results. I hope to have a better result in the next deer.

After an antelope, an elk, a few coyotes and a couple deer I'm going back to the 140s. The 156 did good damage on the elk I shot at 52 yards. The other animals haven't had the normal berger expansion in used to seeing. They all died but I like the performance of the 140 better I guess.
