Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Bullets recovered from deer

Here another .452 caliber 250gr Hornady XTP recovered from my 130pound muzzleloader doe. The bullet weighs 215grs and entered her right side, broke three ribs, destroyed one lung, blew up the liver, and was found in the stomach muscle on the opposite side. The muzzle velocity is a measured 2150fps with this load and at 95 yds away, the doe dropped on the spot.

This bullet is one tough piece of engineering.
