Cool. My son and I used the PSP Core Lokt's last year. I shot two bucks and he shot two does. Three were complete penetrations. On the fourth, one of my son's does, we recovered the bullet under the skin of the opposite shoulder. That deer had goneless than30 yards with a double lung shot. The bullet we recovered was nicely mushroomed, and retained almost 61 grains of weight. I'm not sure how that weight retention compares, but it did the job. I need to get out the micrometer and measure howmuch expansion he got.
How big are the deer where you hunt? I got complete penetrations on my two bucks which weighed in at 124 and 138 lbs.
This year the does seam to be smaller than usual..I would put them in the 100 to 120lbs The bucks I have seen vary quite a bit, anywhere from 120 to 150+.... What I like is how fast it mushrooms on impact...It does major damage on the first vital it hits and allows for error...Like catch the first lung and miss the second...Or miss the first lung and catches the second..That bullet is all ready mushroomed all most to max when it breaks the hide I would think after I seen deer hit with them.. And they do got the power to punch out the other side...Thats why the 100 gr shoots that much lower than the ballistic tip I believe..The win ballistic are loaded a bit hotter than standard 243 shells... I could be wrong though... But it seams logical...I don't think 5 gr more of lead would drop a bullet 5 inches at a 100yrds unless they wasn't loaded as hot..
