I recovered one, or fragments of one. The Hornady 139 grain SP did the job, but was completely destroyed in doing so. It covered 140 yards, smashed the high shoulder on a buck that had to have weighed 240 or more on the hoof, knocked him down like he was hit with Thor's hammer, and he barely quivered.
I found lots of small lead fragments, one chunk of lead, and the jacket of the bullet. I'll try to remember to post a photo when I get it cleaned up.

That's a pig of a deer. What cartridge did you let that hornady fly out of?
