Now when I shot the doe just flopped over and died pretty quickly however, I'm not sure it would have done that with a bigger deer as it didn't do a lot of damage just left a hole through it.
I just joined this forum and just found this thread.
I'm glad I'm not alone in noticing this. I have had similar experiences with Fusion 130 gr in 270 Win.
I have taken about 50 deer in the past 25 years with the same 270rifle I got for college graduation... I use either 130 or 140 gr bullets and the deer usually are dead right there(DRT). I have used any one of the big three makers with great success. But I digress....
Over the past maybe three years, I have noticed the Fusions do not leave much of an exit wound at any range and the deer go
A LOT further after the shot.
