She is now 20 and has killed 12-15 deer with that rifle...All but 2 dropped at the shot and those ran less than 50 yards before dropping...

The 60gr Nosler Partition leaves a hole the size of a quarter when she puts it through the lungs...When she uses the high shoulder shot, they drop...

As she hasn't lost a deer with the round and I can't remember ever losing a deer with the round I decided to call her this evening and tell her that the gun she was using was unethical for deer and she should quit using it...

I appreciate all you knowledgeble gentlemen for educating me on a subject in which I was so ignorant...
