I finally got a doe Friday night withe my Knight using 2-100 gr pellets of pyrodex behind a 295 gr aerotip powerbelt. The doe was quartering towards me at about 40 yards. The bullet entered just above the shoulder on her left side and took out 2 ribs, passed through her chest cavity and stopped on her right side back of the ribs and just under the hide. The bullet mushroomed beautifully but there wasn't much left of it. I weighed it on my scale I use to relaod with and it weighed only 164 grains. I weighed another aerotip I hadn't shot and it weighed 299 grains (without the base, it was supposed to be a 295 gr bullet). The entrance whole was huge so I wonder if the bullet didn't break apart on impact even though it mushroomed.

Merry Christmas
