ORIGINAL: Ken Catch
I shot this Button on Friday and cut it up yesterday. The shot was 30 yds. with a 295gr. Powerbelt Copper Aerotip over 2 50gr. Pyrodex pellets. All I saw through the smoke was feet and belly up. The deer was dead when it landed. I caught the top of the lung and bottom of spine. Just a bit high for my liking but effective. I love my new TC X-7.

Congrad, there is not a thing on earth that will walk away from a hole like that in the chest.I am glad you like them.

You shot a young deer and you shot a "bow shot". It has been my experience for aBIG 250 lb buck (on the hoof) in the shoulder with that load you will have some issues. I have been there done that, never again--I use strong bullets. That penetrate, don't fragment, always expand and shoot thru.

Thanks for the picture.
