ADD Boy,
I use the 250 SST ML same as the shockwave non bonded. This yrs deer dropped in his tracks. Never moved, in and out of the lungs. Last yrs deer double lung high and ran 70 yrds. No major blood for 30 yrds, but good hair and slight spotting. Both not untypical of in and out bullets. Everyone keeps taking about bullet expansion, but it you hit ribs in and out you should never recover one. I have shot some deer @ 1/4 away w/ XTP's that have not exited but the expansion was awesome. I still have the doe bullet. I'll shoot a pic some time.

AK in PA,
Real nice pic. Like the fog w/ the tree pattern too! Which make rifle are you using w/what sights?
Also isn't it true your only allowed flint in your ML season w/ round ball and now Hornady PA conicals?
Thanks, SHills
