Nice report! That will be a nice eating deer.

That performance looks fairly average for Shockwaves in my experience, although I've never recovered the bullet jacket inside the deer. I have seen evidence of some fragmentation though. Normally I get a pass-thru with lots of damage and some fragmentation on close shots but the majority of the bullet exits the deer. Many times higher lung shots don't bleed very much initially, regardless of what bullet you are using. Congrats!
