ORIGINAL: Underclocked
recovered from under the off-side hide of a 7pt whitetail. Started life as a Lee .457-405F sized to .451 and weighed ~423 grains. Recovered weight was 373 grains (if my memory is correct) and there was an obvious small chunk missing from the nose section.
This looks pretty good but not perfect, anperfect performing terminalbullet is completely expanded at the head and the long shank of the bullet is intact, like the picture perfect barnes bullets with the petals fully expanded and the shank totally together, like the 300g Nosler I showed above and like the 300g Gold Dot shown above. To >>me<< this bullet worked and obviouly killed, but itover expanded (I do NOT believe pancake flat is good in a bullet either--please push back if you think otherwise), not as overexpanded as the 250g Gold Dot shot into sand but getting there. I am NOT saying this bullet didn't do it's job and I am NOT saying I do not recommend this bullet. Chap
