I didn't recover the bullet... she shot both of them kind of quartering to her (she hunts a stand where the deer travel a trail) and the bullet ended up in the gut cavity and the way I skin them I don't gut them very often.. lots of tissue damage and if she would have had an exit a lot of blood. Both deer were dead with in 25-40 yds.. I am also going to let her use the 125gr SST.
