[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1711030, member: 10291"] My favorite 6.5 hunting bullet, a 142gr JLK VLD from my 6.5x284 at 2975MV. Recovered from a mule deer a bit over 500 yards. He was angled facing away with entry behind the rib cage ending under the hide in the front chest. 62% retained weight. The DRT. I have taken a few dozen mule deer, white tail, and antelope with this bullet. Generally they penetrate fully, most game DRT, a handful dead within 25 yards. [ATTACH=full]149067[/ATTACH] Thought this would be an interesting one. Shot a lion in Botswana about 30 years ago. 480gr Woodleigh SP from my 450 H&H Nitro Express at 2150MV. Entered the front chest and recovered under the hide of the hind quarter. Distance 21 yards. 95% retained weight. This was the 2nd shot, the first, behind the shoulder broadside, was full penetration. While the first shot would have been fatal, he turned facing me for the second shot which put him down instantly. [ATTACH=full]149068[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
