[QUOTE="MW204, post: 3051749, member: 118876"] I used to use them in my 7mm Express until one buck I shot almost go away. The shot was a broadside double lung, the bullet went between a rib going in and in between a rib going out, no blood trail at all. The bullet penciled through, the buck ran about 200 yds, but it ran into some heavy trees. It took me a while but I eventually found him and after gutting him I discovered what happened. All of the other times I shot a deer with that bullet it struck a rib going out and it did leave a blood trail, but it made me think about those previous shots and they too most likely penciled through but by striking a rib going out i did get some kind of blood trail. What I didn't know then that I do now, if I had cleaned out the HP on those bullets would they have expanded, I don't know, but if I ever thought about using them again I'd make sure the HP was clean and open.
