Default RE: 245g Powerbelt Results for Saxman

Heres a couple shot placements that i prefer to take with the 225+ grain Powerbelt and 80g powder.

Notice on the smaller picture "Pic #2", the very bottom deer is 1/4'ing Away. This is the shot that my father got his deer on. He put it behind the shoulder and the bullet went directly straight through the middle of the other shoulder and exited. Deer went about 15 yards max, and that was due to the thick grass and the slope she slid down on and then into some fallen trees. Blood was heavy in the area where she got hit with the bullet but once she started to slide in that dark thick stuff, it was pay attention time. The slick was easy to follow once your eyes adjusted.

Picture just below looks a lot like the angle of the shot i had at my deer on the side of the mountain i shot her. The red dot i where i aimed and she went 5 yards. If you use the Elbow as a target line, that will be perfect and allow a steady blood trail
