When I mentioned fist-sized exit holes with high-BC bullets on deer-sized animals, it's because I've seen them on a number of occasions.


I shot a Mule deer last season with a 168 VLD at 200 yards, and the exit was about a half-dollar sized as well.

In the last 2 years I've seen 6 critters killed with Scenars or VLDs (not a huge number, I know) and they have all died very quickly when shot in the right place.

"Shut up, load a Scenar or VLD, and go hunting"... How's that work again? grin...
