Well, another buck dropped to the 85 Sierra HPBT Sunday night. My brother in law, using the same gun/load, walked up a big mulie buck sleeping in a little dry wash. He got to within 35 yards and the deer stayed put. Only target was the head and neck. He shot the buck in the "voice box" and the bullet exploded in his spine and neck muscles. As you might imagine, this was a "lights out" shot.

Through some kind of nervous system reflex, the deer bit off the last two inches of his tongue apparently at the moment he was shot. Due to the high impact velocity and the heavy bone/muscle, the bullet came apart and did not exit.
