I hunted Michigan's early antlerless season on a client's farm this weekend. Brought the Redhawk loaded w/ 300 gr XTPs pushed by a near-max load of H-110.

Early yesterday morning I shot a little doe at about 20 yds. I hit her a little higher than I intended (I like a shoulder shot) but her lungs were pulvarized and I found her about 75 yds away.

The 300s were left over from a feral pig hunt in Texas and are a little tougher than I would choose for this purpose, but even so I was surprised by the lack of expansion. This is a pic of the exit:

Has anyone run the 225 LeverEvolution bullet through a deer? I was kinda thinking about scoping this revolver and running those as fast as possible to get the expansion I like on deer.

Thoughts?
