Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Bullets recovered from deer

Well, I got another bullet to share. This is a 250gr XTP recovered in the hip of a 127pound doe shot by my Savage Muzzleloader. It appears like I hit it with a machette or clever in the quartering/butchering process. It wieghs 110grs and it entered the shoulder/neck area of the doe at a range of about 75yds. It wrecked both lungs, went thru the top of the heart, and made it thru the whole length of the deer before stopping in the bone structure of the hips. The doe traveled about 70yds uphill and dropped in sight of me.

Once again the XTP proves more than a match for deer even when pushed at 2100fps.
