I was perched up on a 35'-40' sand stone cliff and a doe presented her self about 40 yards away from the base(across the creek) I had to shoot through some tree tops and was sure I had a clear shot but some how I missed ( had to hit a limb, the gun is dead on). When the smoke cleared the doe was standing there just looking around and had no Idea were it came from. I was franticly trying to reload without giving away my position, had a hell of a time getting my quick load open,I was loading and trying to watch her at the same time, and when I took my eyes of her to put my primer on she was gone. I went around to the futherest piont of the cliff to see if she went (up the creek)around the bend in the creek bottom i found that she had went about 20 yards futher down the creek and was standing with a perfect broadside shot about 60-75 yards away. I rested The rifle against a tree and let her have it this time she bolted straight back were she came from. After reloading and collecting my gear I went acrossed the creek and found her deadabout 50 yards from were I shot her.
Now for the detailes, I was using my sons cva wolf (I will buy myself one) with a el-cheapo simmons 3x9x50 scope, 2- 50 grain pyro pelets ad a 250 grain hornady sst-ml bullet and sabot. The hornady put a hole in the entry side of the hide about the same size as the bullet but it punched a hole the size of a fifty cent piece in the rib cage with just aslightly bigger exit hole on the oposing rib cage. Thistells me it expanded on impact and stayed together all the way through. It cut about an inch or so off the top of the heart and destroyed the lungs. The problem with this is with the heart basicly disconected there was very little blood trail. I hear of the bang,flop shot and cant help but wonder why this was not one. Anyways I love this little gun and the load and bullet seem to be right on as well and she ishangin in the garage!!!!!!!!
