nosler partition bullets
I just returned from my Colorado hunt were I took a nice 24" mule deer. The shot was 319 yards and I had a rock solid rest. Problem was the hit was just in front of the hind quarters. He went down right away and thrashed around before expiring before I could get another round in him. When we cut him up we found some lead fragments in the area of the wound channel. Is this typical for partitions? Could I have hit some unseen brush just short of my target deflecting the bullet? I checked the gun when I got home and it was dead on. I am really puzzled by the poor shot placement.
