Too heavy of a bullet that won't expand will do that. I never understand why people run a bullet constructed for elk or moose on deer, or vice versa.


I saw the deer being dressed. The bullets thoroughly tore up the innards, so even though the bullets weren't recovered there is no reason for me to believe they didn't expand.


Range and shock can do that, even if there wasn't any expansion. A 140 out of the 7 would have been a better choice.
