Please post your biggest exit wound on animals. Posted on another site it was pretty cool to see them !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted a few times before but it makes me smile still so....







Exit, entry... all the same when you shoot a squirrel with a 30 caliber.

Antelope at 367 yards.
300 gr TSX bullet from a 416 Weatherby Mag at 3150 fps!

Winnie, I LOVE seeing the pictures you post with that rifle in them! The story behind that truly fits the season and the guys here on the campfire!

Look forward to many more, man!

Antelope Heart, and a few exit holes that are best seen against the sky...

shrapnel,
Thats great photo work, I enjoy pics like that.

Had an entry hole that was close to that size! Shot a buck running through the woods and clipped a 3" sapling, bullet went in very large. Upon skinning the deer, the scattered shrapnel made the deer look like it had chicken pocks and also appeared as though the deer was eating toothpicks.

Nothing like a crow splatter to warm a fellas heart.

Not impressed with the shot as much as you can also take a picture of it.

270 Win, 130 gr. ballistic Tip.



7 Rem Mag, 120 grain V-Max.


25-06 Rem 100 grain Sierra Game King. (500 yards)


.222 Rem 52 grain Sierra Match King.

Never seen a deer stand on it's nose before. Clever.

Face plant...

That [bleep] is awesome keep posting guys!!!!!!!!!!

No hole but the one he lived in...

Killed and gutted in less than 1 second.

I love big exit holes, except when the deer jumps in a big creek and sinks to the bottom. This happened to me today and was certainly a first. Shot onside shoulder, should have exited behind other shoulder, deer makes one flying leap into creek like a Lab going for a duck. She churns the water like a hot tub for a few seconds and then all is calm. She's gone under by the time I can get to the water. Maybe she would have floated if not so well-ventilated? Damn the luck.


Even so, I'm still a big fan of big holes and good blood trails.....

03-A3 hole in one...

Barnes 110 TTSX, .270 Win to the back of the head. Never found the missing parts.

35 grain VMax 12 grains Blue Dot .223 Rem. I do not usually get this much returned. Mostly much smaller pieces.

This one, wins....

VA what was you using ? cool thread I gotta start takin a camera on my hunts

Wasn't me. Fella from ARAIG did that.

VA; what makes a hole that size??

An F150?

Now thats a hole!

Bad ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

entrance was left front should slightly quartering

yum.....what did that?

Anybody got any 50 cal kill shots?

300 wm 180 gr accubond at 3100 fps shot was from 75 yds

Keep it up top this is awesome stuff!!!

I dare you to eat right up to that hole!

Ttt

Up

rem 700 300 rum loaded over max

208 amax 3313 fps over 5000 fpe @ 15 yds

Wow!!!

Damn

How about this...

20mm Deer Kill

I've got a few this year with this round too...150 gr scirroco...NASTY holes! One is the size of a small football. pics later from home

Some of this stuff is pretty grotesque.....A game animal deserves a better end....

Glad I stick with Partitions.

I'm sure your dead deer feel much better about it.

Wow

Mathman: It matters little to them, I'm sure ....but my objective is to kill them, not reduce them to pureed parts,DNA and red goo....

We have a winner. Im switching back...

Bob and I are cool. He knows I'm funnin' him.

Always!

I believe that meets the definition of OVERKILL!!

And over-penetration.

Remington 700 .375 H&H xcr,hs stock. doubletap 235 grain tsx 3113 fps(chroned)!! Shot was at 264 yards.

How far did he run?

Not big, but based on bullet (50gr 224 Sierra SP) and the fact that everything from esophagus to spine was tore out on that side, there was only a some tissue on the left holding her head on.

You got gators down there JPro?

I agree, its one thing varmints but a game animal deserves a bit more respect.

He kinda rolled over real quick!

The pig on the left was a frontal head shot (entrance hole) 7mm-08 at 150 yards 120 grain Hornady HP. The one second from the right was a "skalping" shot from the side


Entrance hole from 100 yards. 100 grain Barnes XLC at 3,500 fps from .25-284. Flinch

Exit hole? About 18" wide.
I don't have a pic, but a couple years ago I shot a small mulie buck with a 30 cal Nosler AB. I've never liked those bullets because they destroy too much meat. In this case, I hit a bit low, just above the sternum. It took out the heart, oh yes indeed, but it also blew his entire abdomen apart. As he ran 50 yds, the stomach literally fell out on the ground. It was 20 yds from where he fell.
It wasn't hard to field dress it, anyway, but the heart was just mush.

A 'yote kilt by BMD a few weeks ago. 168 grain TTSX, MV right at 3300 fps from a 300 Win. Mag., range around 300 yards. Penciled right the hell through! (No boolit recovered..)

How much did you get for the pelt?

I think BMD is using it for a thong, but I am not willing to see it in use, under any circumstance, ever.

If you want to make a big hole, start with a big hole maker.

Appears to save money on processing.

Gutted, meat pre-ground, ready to make jerky?

Headless courtesy of an M29

not huge, about half dollar, but I like the bubbles

Awesome stuff!

No pics but my second deer ever I shot at a steep down hill. The deer was facing me and I shot low in the neck with a 7mmRM 160gr partition. The bullet passed through the neck and travelled along the spine. The deer did a back flip at the shot. As I walked up I could see it was split from the back of the head to the base of the tail. There was nothing left of either backstrap and the back legs were pointing in the wrong direction.

7mm RM 160 Accubond 238 yards

120TSX, just your regular pedestrian 7-08AI.

You gotta love this stuff!!!

10-4. I pass on roadkill.

50 years ago I saw what was left of the offside of a doe hit by a cousins 30-06, and never used one, though I know it was the bullet.

" use enough dynamite there Butch?"

never took a picture of it... but late 90s shot a blacktail buck, he was running away from me after he came out of an opening, saw me and headed away from me..

I had a 22.250 with a 70 grain Speer in it..shot right over his tail at his neck at about 200 yds or so..he went down with a couple of somersaults heading down hill...

bullet hit the spinal cord... bullet came out of his throat and only way to describe the exit wound, was his throat was opened up like a book, and about the size of a book...

no mounting that head...

saw a deer that was dropped off at a butchers in Wisconsin one year... I had to ask the butcher about it... some guy shot a buck whom was grazing.. so when he hit it the deers head was down eating grass.. the shot went right below the deers eyes, and from the angle, exited out of his spinal column right behind the neck... the hunter shot him with a 300 Weatherby, with a 150 grain bullet at a distance of about 50 yds..exit hole was larger than a bowling ball.. hit the spinal cord after going thru the bone in the face of the deer... sheesh, there went about 30 pounds of hamburger...

130 TTSX out of 308win

launched at 3100+

range was 40 yards

Remington 87 grain 250-3000 factory pre- core lokt. 90 yards.

Not mine but a 35 whelen hard quartering to exit wound

Looking at this thread makes me wonder how we can ever have an intelligent conversation about lack of power in rifle cartridges....even the milder one's are a world of destructive capability.

The animals don't stand a chance.

-----------------------------------------------------

Rem 700 sporterweight bdl 22-250 built by Micky Coleman -55gr blitzking -win brass -41gr H-380.
Misjudged yardage nearly shot over him i think the bullet hit square on the arch of the rib coming off the spinal column -blew up early on.
Have picture somewhere of a headless badger if i can find it.

Not as big as some of these but about 150 yard shot from up above, 300 RUM 180gr Accubond 3250fps.


Little brother's first bull when he was 12. 7mm-300Wby, 160gr Accubond at ~3400fps. Not sure how far the shot was.

It took some real BRAIN-POWER to request this post!!

155gr Berger

Lots of wasted meat in some of those pictures.

Different strokes though... my ideal is complete penetration from any angle and distance I prefer to shoot, caliber in, quarter size or basically double the bullet diameter or so for exit hole. Doesn't take much to kill one.

my thoughts exactly. when you can only kill one a year, you re-think blowing huge holes in an animal. it wastes too much edible meat, and when you depend on the meat, that is not ok.

the pics dont bother me in the slightest, but do make me envious of some of the guys who can kill so much in a year they dont have to be too picky about what shot they take.

I've got one kinda like that, Mackay. Smaller gun and smaller critter though.

.270 Win. 130 NBT VS. 40# pig

Funny how a picture can trigger a smell memory.

Here's an "exit hole" that I did with my knife:

Awesome

attaboy 300mag, gloves are for suckers- (not really,
I just never think to have any)

nothin like your watch covered in dried
blood and having to scratch a hole in the film to see what time it is



or flakin off that dried blood at the market when you're checking in

of course now, we have online checkin

Yes, I had that same smell.... and my sniffer doesnt really work that great anymore.

Messy stuff!

100 gr HP Speer doin 3330 fps from my 257 AI @ maybe 40 yds?

.280 120gr Nosler BT 75yds

This is an entry hole on a neck shot. 30-06 shooting a 165 BTSP. I had hit a limb on my first shot and hit her too far back, she was hunched up and moving away down a draw. I picked a hole in the brush and let her have it again.

This makes them stop working.....from a 300gr NPT .45/70
