What bullet did you use? Winchester Ballistic Silvertip

How many grains was the bullet? 180

How far was the shot? 75 yds+/-

Where did you hit the deer? Chest

How far did the deer run after it was shot? 50yds +/-

Roughly how big was the exit hole (if any)? very small, recovered most of bullet between meat and outer fat layer

How much did the deer weigh dressed (if you know that)? 100lbs +/-
This was my first year using the Ballistic Silvertips, i was really surprised to find the bullet since i shot at such a close distance and didnt hit any bones, went between 2 ribs and both lungs.
