[QUOTE="Buttermilk, post: 737603, member: 5262"] My preference is for a bullet that exits after doing significant amounts of internal damage. However, the last deer I shot was at 100-110 yds, head on shot with a 7mm 140 gr Nosler Accubond that entered the chest taking the right side lung, damaging the spine enough at the neck-shoulder junction to drop the 8pt in his tracks. Damage to the right lung was a nickel to quarter size hole and the liver was turned to liquid jelly. Bullet did not exit. Prior to that, I shot a small 8pt buck at 41 paces with a 30 cal Berger 168 VLD. That bullet entered behind the left side shoulder (hard quartering shot) taking out the left lung, and catching the rear tip of the right lung along with trashing the liver. I found pieces of that bullet all the way back at the rectum on that buck. Internal damage was significant, with massive amounts of blood, and 4 broken ribs at the spine area. This deer dropped at the shot. On both of those deer, the bullet did exactly what I wanted: killed quickly, anchoring the animals on the spot at the shot. Even though I prefer exits, what I REALLY want is the bullet to kill quickly with no tracking. :)) Regards Rog [/QUOTE]
