It mushroomed well
But where along its path
It resulted in a dead buck anyways
Congrats!!
But was it initial expansion and then more thru the chest
Reason why I wonder is ya said it
Slipped in between 2 ribs
Smacked one on the off side and lodged under the hide.
Do ya think most of the expansion might have been on that off side rib.
I would want an exit wound myself.
JMO
and not trying ta bust ya chops about the round.
I would say it did most of it on initial hit based on what I saw in the chest cavity. Definitely hard to say though. As I said I was very happy with the results as it died quickly. A short sprint to the creek bottom of about 20 yards was all he had left. I will say I’m not sure how well they would hold up at higher velocities hitting more substance. Most of my hunting affords me the opportunity to wait for a perfect shot so I thought I’d give these a whirl.
