I perfer to use Nosler PT's for the bigger game like Elk and Bear and the BT's for deer hunting. I have never recovered a partition and only recovered 1 BT. 140 gr BT from a 280 Rem @ 3000 fps MV. Target was a large WT Deer (doe) at 150 yds. Shot entered in front of the left shoulder and was recovered under the hide between the last two ribs on the right side. The deer dropped in her tracks. I would guess that the bullet traveled through 22-24" of deer. Regards, JD338
