I have been singing the praises and suggesting that bullet for years... I have produced a bunch of dark red "jello" in a lot of chest cavities shooting that bullet. There are still people that say "hydrostatic shock" does not occur - but you and I know that bullet did not hit every organ in that cavity..
Sure glad it worked for and more glad that you posted your story....

Yes.. that Hydrostatic shock thing sure does occur. That inner cavity was ruined. I even felt some grit type stuff as if I hit the guts, but it was a perfect broadside shot and the entrance and exit was tight behind the shoulders on a perfect broadside shot. The stomach was intact as well, as the shot was no where near it. I have never seen so much internal damage on a deer. I still can't explain the grit inside the cavity as I have only felt this from a gut shot deer.
At any rate, thanks again for the suggested bullet/sabot combo as I'm sure a few of you posting in this thread were the reason I chose this combo. An awesome combo IMO and I don't think i will need to find any other load for my gun.
