I have only recovered a couple of bullets in all of my years deer hunting. The first was pieces of a .45 pistol bullet shot out of a ML with a sabot. It was obviously going too fast for it's construction limits and was in fragments from hitting a neck vertebrae . The 2nd was a .243 rem. cl that looked like a print ad from a magazine, perfect mushroom found under the offside hide after passing thru both shoulders of a doe at around 200yds.
