[QUOTE="338weatherby, post: 2338621, member: 114213"] My daughter shot her buck Friday with the loads I had loaded up for antelope. She was shooting 70gr Hammer Hunters out of her .243 at 3600 fps. The deer was a decent bodied deer, maybe 160 dressed. She hit it square in the shoulder. The deer ran maybe 30-40 yards. The bullet did not exit and there was no blood. We have about 10" of snow so the short track wasn't a big deal. The shot placement was good, the lungs and top of the heart were destroyed, cavity filled with blood. The HH worked great, however I do think with the 70gr projectile it would be better to hold behind shoulder for a complete pass through. My daughter was very happy with the results! Wanted to add, very close shot on this, 40 yards so impact velocity was still around 3500 I would guess. [/QUOTE]
