Default .45/300 Hornady XTP Recovered

Here's a bullet from live "deer media" testing. It's the first I've collected. They usually pass through.

.45/300 Hornady XTP, non magnum bullet.
MMP standard short black sabot
85 Grains BH209
CCI Magnum Primer
Range: 90 Yards
Estimated Velocity:
Muzzle: 1680
Impact: 1367
Deer field dressed weight: 130 pounds

Attached pdf pictures are better if you choose view and then rotate clockwise 90 degrees. (conversion from .jpg to .pdf rotated them)

Target Angle: Quartering away
Entry: Just ahead of last rib (Picture 1).
Exit: Ribs above brisket, then through opposite shoulder flesh (Picture 2) breaking upper leg bone just below ball joint (Picture 3).
Recovered bullet under hide over upper leg (Pictures 4 -7).

The bullet traveled about 23" through deer media.

Ron's test setup seems to be a good compare. In his test, the bullet passed through 4 jugs. That bullet looks more compressed. At 80 grains and 20 yards, velocity may be about 180 fps faster.
