A Speer DC .44/240 recovered from an actual deer.











Likely hit a bone during pass through but maintained most of its weight.

OOPS! Good eye GM. That label is on the wrong picture. The bullet in that picture is from my .41 Mag Ruger Bisley, shot at around 1500 fps.

I think it was one recovered from the same mud patch/puddle as the ones in the picture of 240 grain bullets. Over the years, bullets have trenched out a section of the upward sloped ground about 20 yards behind our 50 yard target, leaving a section that stays muddy/wet unless there's been no rain for a while. It collects a lot of bullets.
