Found another photo taken that day.










Those are the antelope. They were bedded there in the dry lake bed. The photo seems to show 3 nice bucks...maybe. They ran off at the shot. Now they are around 500, maybe 600 yard away. Up in the right hand corner are some more antelope, that spooked out of the next coulee at the shot; i didn't know they were there. The dead one is in the lake bed closer than shown in the photo.

At any rate, the bullet seemed to work well that day, on a real live breathing animal.




Those photo of the unexpanded bullet... they were recovered from inside a white tail deer? It seems to me that if a bullet doesn't expand it penetrates deep. All the tests done using the carpet, plywood, and water jugs have shown that to be true. Expanded bullets usually don't penetrate as deeply as the unexpanded bullets. To me this seems to be common knowledge is it not? Those unexpanded bullets should have penetrated through and through any whitetail in the world, and only been found out beyond the deer... It is kinda like they were shot with a sling shot or some such.
