Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors 150 grain corelockt disinegration

70 yards is a pretty close shot ( but I'm sure you know that ) .....


This 8 point was shot with a 85 grain Partition from a featherweight 99 in .243 WCF . Distance was 30 yards . The bullet entered right behind the armpit and hit major arteries and exited with no bone hit ..... he dropped 20 yards from being hit . I got to him in less than 5 minutes and he was dead .

Was I dissapointed because there was no " bang - flop " ? .... hardly .







15 minutes later , this 4 point came out and took the same 85 grain pill from the same 99 in .243 WCF , and standing right in the same spot the first buck was at( 30 yards ). The bullet entered right behind the armpit and blew the heart in half . Before exiting , it also took out the offside leg .

At the shot , this buck ran like I completely missed it .... but it left a blood trail for almost 100 yards that looked like someone threw buckets and buckets of blood everywhere ( I am not exaggerating one bit )... No problem finding him . It was lethal hit and left a huge hole on the exiting side . Was I disappointed because it wasn't a bang flop ? .... Hardly .
