Unhappy: It is like a grenade going off in their chest and explodes EVERYTHING in there. Yep that was a repeat. I mean it does so much damage that you lose a lot of meat sometimes.
I have also NEVER found a bullet from any animal I have shot with this bullet. I have no freakin clue where it goes.
i agree. i've killed deer with 150 grain bullets from my .308 and 130 grain bullets from my .270. they take care of business for sure. but, they were designed for long range shots. so, they are explosive at close range. where i hunt most of my shots are well within 100 yards. although, the longest distance i shot a deer with these bullets has only been 65 yards. so i'm thinking about using a standard jacketed soft point.
as far as you not finding a bullet that hasn't exited the animal. it probably desinigrated. this is what i've observed with the bullets that did not exit.
