Saturday morning one of the guys in my hunting club shot a 82 lb. doe at somewhere between 90 - 110 yards.
He used a 245 grain hollowpoint copper clad bullet over 70 grains of Triple 7 FFG.
The hit was high chest, right at the rear of the shoulder. The doe dropped at the shot. The bullet took out a small portion of the bottom of the spinal vertebrae and stopped under the skin of the off side. The plastic base was under the skin on the off side also, having traveled through the chest with the bullet.
Here's the bullet - success or failure?
