I decided to try the Hornady Superformance 150 gr SST. in 30/06 this year. Shot a deer at approx. 90 yds. high shoulder, maybe 2" posterior. The deer dropped right there. Thinking it was a bang flop I relaxed and what I thought was the dying quivers turned into spinning around and eventually getting up and running off. I was very surprised to say the least.

I went to where deer originally dropped to find a very small amount of blood and no blood trail going the way he went. He only went about 40 yds or so but had he gone 100 yds its possible I may not have found him since he was in thick young planted pines. There was and entrance and exit wound.

Anyone else have lack of blood or not putting deer down?
