AWESOME! that is great - shooting ML's is really addictive....
I was using 2 - 50 grain pellets of 777 and a .40 caliber 200 grain XTP. The bullet entered just under the spine at a downward angle and exited low in the rib cage. There was a golf ball-sized hole through the back of the lungs and the liver. Upon field-dressing, I found what appeared to be at least a gallon of blood sloshing around in the chest cavity. I was pretty impressed by the bullet performance to say the least.
I am extremly intereseted in thisbullet report. I shoot 50's and have been shooting this bullet in testing. It is really accurate forme and across my chrono it is a screamer. We only get one tag a year so I have not tried it as hunting bullet yet - just shooting paper. Your description of the results sounds excellent. I am assuming it passed through?
Inormally shoot Noslers for hunting, but at the price of Nosler bullets I am looking for an alternative. One of those alternative that might give me about the same type bullet is the Speer Gold, well unfortunately Speer does notmake a 200 grain 10mm, but they do make a 180 grain - I have shot that bullet into a wet clay dirt bankfrom various ranges (25 to 100) and have been impressed with the bullets abilty tostay together.. well, I am getting off subject.
Again CONGRATS! and thanks for the report...
