[QUOTE="7stw, post: 754992, member: 22854"] Ridge Runner, I had the SAME experience last deer season, 2011. I shot two deer in July on a crop damage hunt, with similar results in a seven mag, using a 168 grain bullet. HUGE superficial wound. Then, in the November rifle season, the same thing with a 30 cal, 168 grain. Shot the deer behind the shoulder at 221 yards. The deer dropped, and laid there for 20 minutes. When I walked over to her to recover, she got up!!!!! When she ran into the woods, I saw a pie plate size flesh wound, and a puddle of blood where she was lying. But believe me, when she got up, she had plenty of energy. We tracked her her for about 3/4 mile, for there was a blood trail, but it was not a fatal hit. The bullet blowup outside of her, I'm sure. We never did find that deer, and that was the last one I have fired at deer. I'll shoot them at a match, but no more " Ham- Berger " for me thank you! I have switched to Barnes LRX bullets, VERY happy! Bang Flop, right now! That's my take, and I'm sad to say it! When I switched to the Bergers, I was caught up in the accuracy I got with them, but I am a hunter, and to me, these are not the best I can do! What I am shooting now flat out kill deer! [/QUOTE]
