Default RE: How Did Your Gun Perform in the Field?

What caliber did you use? 7mm Rem Mag

What bullet did you use? Nosler Ballistic Tip & Hornady Interlock SP

How many grains was the bullet? 150 Gr

How far was the shot? 250 & 150

Where did you hit the deer? Lungs & Lungs exited in front of opposite shoulder

How far did the deer run after it was shot? 20 yards & 0 yards

Roughly how big was the exit hole (if any)? 2-3" I guess (big enough)

How much did the deer weigh dressed (if you know that)? approx 225-250 (hide on)
I consider it good performance I usually only use NBT or SST for deer but the one deer was taken on a Moose/Whitetail combo hunt so I decided to use the Hornady interlock vs Ballistic tips due to them swamp donkey's. Incidently the interlock perform well on a calf moose on double lung shot of 100 yards or so, the exit size was about 2" and the calf dropped in it's tracks weight more than a deer maybe 400 - 500 lbs.
