I didnt harvest this animal only helped track it......With all this talk about the different projectiles on our forum its funny how the same thing happens with people in person. Heres a buck shot at 65yds with a PB Platinum 270gr. Perfect behind shoulder shot no blood... Deer went 150yds or so through heavy swamp like area. Very hard to find. We found it sunday mourning. Gun is Knight Disc with 2- 777 pellets. Most of our talk was bullet performance. 2 guys swear bye PB and I prefer anything else.

i am glad you guys found him. I know from personal experience how hard it is to find a deer in areas like that. I also do not hunt with powerbelts. Anything but a powerbelt for me.

I just don't understand some people and there attraction to horrible bullet performance at least you all found the deer!!

Ok, I give up. I'll use Thors.

Muley, I knew there was hope for ya.

Muley Hunter

I like to give something a fair chance, but the kill in this thread worries me. That bullet should have been a pass through.

I thought you were only hunting rabbits with a Great Plains pistol and roundball. remember??

Muley Hunter

I still do that, but that's not what I call hunting. It's plinking at Bugs.

Muley I agree but no pass thru. Deer cavity full of blood and where he laid down(or fell) a big mess pile of blood. By the looks the deer was quartering away and bullet entered behind shoulder. As you know its amazing how far a deer can run in such a short time. He wasnt pushed after the shot and I met those guys down the marsh in the am. Dead is dead I guess, and they shoot real well out of his Knight.

Muley Hunter

Yes, dead is dead. I worry about performance on elk. It's going to be my main hunt next year, and I don't want to take chances.

I was thinking the Platinum was going to work on elk. If it can't pass through a deer. I'm not using it.
