JPro, can you tell me about the animal, shot, and range of this recovered bullet?
Sure. It was a 150lb whitetail buck that was a few degrees away from facing me head-on, at roughly 230yds. After I watched him for about 30 seconds, he still remained frozen with his head upright, so I took the shot before he decided to bolt. I shot him 2/3 of the way up the chest and he dropped out of sight. He had fallen neatly in place and one of my daughters asked about the small lump that was 5-6" from his hip, so I showed them how to slice the hide and recover a bullet, which they thought was pretty cool.
I also shot a 270lb feral sow with the same load and shot angle at a little over 300yds, although she wheeled and ran into the brush, leaking pretty heavily from the center-chest entrance within a few feet of the impact. She made it 25yds or so, but I gave that pig to a friend and did not search for the expanded bullet.
