Congratulations of the nice doe... and a great hunt it sounds like. As you say, it never surprises me when people tell me how far a deer ran with a good solid hit. They are tuff creatures.

I am wondering, did the T/C XTP go all the way through the deer? The reason I as is I shoot the same bullet with only 80 grains of Goex 3f out of my Wolverine sometimes and was always kind of worried it would not blow through at close ranges. I have a few other loads I am sure would get through, but I really like the accuracy of the XTP's and their much more expensive version called the Barnes Expanders. I would shoot them all the time but at over a buck a throw, that is a little too much.

Due to her size that will be a good eating deer. Again, congratulations.
