When we skinned him out you could see how the bullet failed. She'd hit the leg bone of the front shoulder. The bullet broke the bone but never even penetrated past the leg. There were no pieces that made it through the leg at all, zero, zilch. If she'd been using a better bullet he'd most likely died at that shot.
THUS WHY I ASSUME IT IS CALLED A BALLISTIC TIP ..IT EXPLODES WHEN IS HITS SOMETHING LIKE A LEG BONE .... I TOOK A CANADIAN BUCK LAST YEAR THAT WEIGHED 335lbs ON THE HOOF .. I SHOT THE BUCK IN THE RIGHT REAR QUARTER ANGLING AWAY FROM ME ( AND BEFORE ALL YOU GUYS COME DOWN ON ME YOU WOULD HAVE HAD TO HAVE BEEN THERE TO UNDERSTAND THE SHOT) ...I USED A 7mm08 139 GRAIN BALLISTIC TIP ...THE BULLET WENT THROUGH THE REAR QUARTER ..INTO THE STOMACH AND EXITED AROUND TALLYWACKER .... HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR THE BALLISTIC TIP I DOUBT I WOULD HAVE RECOVERD THIS DEER AND THE ONLY REASON I BROUGHT BALLISTIC TIPS WAS BECAUSE THE OUTFFITER SUGGESTED IT ...

I'm not coming down on you, but am wondering if that was a shot that you intended to take or if the outfitter told you to shoot it there?
