Thanks for the pics! These are the kind of pics I like to see...I want to know what v various bullets are doing to the game. I too would be a little concerned about the lack of an exit would, but with an entry wound like that, that's one dead dear, and dead pretty quick.

I'm currently testing Deepcurls in my gun, and if I can get them under 2" at 100 yards, I'll go with them. I used PT Golds last season, and had a pass-thru with large entry/exits at 150 yards and only 90gr BH209, but I also shot a deer at approximately 10 yards and never found even a drop of blood, not to mention a deer. I could have missed...we'll never know...but that incident shook my confidence in that bullet. And I had a 1" group @ 100 too. Too bad.
