These were factory winchester BT's out of two different guns.

Deer travel = 0 yards...blood trail was not needed.
This load also consistently groups around 1/2 inch at 100 yards from my Savage 110 and knocks over steel targets at 500 yards all day long...
The 7 mag is pretty rough on deer, I borrowed one, one time and shot a doe, she went maybe 40 yds and I dont even know how she did that. About a fist size exit wound and blood shot meat from front shoulder to rear ham, I swear!
