[QUOTE="Hand Skills, post: 2025180, member: 103303"] Sent a 7mm 140gr Absolute Hunter through a whitetail this afternoon. Double lunged him at ~150yd, impact velocity ~2900fps. He hunched up at the shot, but I heard a ricochet so was mildly concerned when he trotted into a depression and out of sight. I gave him about 10min before following up. Found hair and a couple drops of blood where I had hit him, but not much to track. Felt fortunate to find him piled up in some willows - he made it less than 40yrds. [ATTACH alt="20201118_164839~(1).jpg"]226251[/ATTACH] Ahead of the diaphragm, the heart was intact and there were a couple chunks recognizable as lung, but mostly it was soup. Impressive (well, maybe not for the dogs - no lungs, minimal bloodshot... Guess they'll have to settle for just the bones). I'll be less concerned the next time an animal walks away from one, but that ricochet was weird. Shank must have clipped a willow branch after it exited. [/QUOTE]
