Hi everyone,

My apologies for the mediocre quality of the pics... and for now knowing how to post them directly.

I recovered this from a whitetail buck (~180 lbs live)I killed a couple days ago. The shot was quartering-to, from nine yards. Went through the shoulder & came to rest against the hide a few inches in front of the opposite hindquarter. Traveled approximately 1/2 the deer's length.

I know that there are plenty of bullets out there that perform quite well; this isn't meant as a "this is the best bullet ever &everything else stinks"kind of post. Just wanted to show that this relatively low-cost (hence the name) projectile is at least worthy of consideration if you'retrying to develop an effective,accurate load for deer-size game.

Of course from 9 steps, all the fretting about1-inch vs. 3-inch 100 yard groups seems like a bit of overkill
