10 twist with muzzle velocity of 2600 fps and impact velocity of 2350 fps at 165 yards. Thats equivalent to a 300 Win muzzle velocity of 3000 fps and impact velocity of 2350 fps at 400 yards.
Surely lack of speed is not the case. 400 yards max from a 300 Win certainly isn't the definition of a long range bullet.
I will make no assumptions. Hopefully I can kill the buck and find out for sure what happen. But my gut is telling me that if there were any expansion or fragmentation, as close to the spine as it appears to be, there'd be a dead deer. But on the other hand, The Formid example proves thats not necessarily the case.
Low and behold he has reappeared with what looks like a small, clean exit wound on the back of his neck from a bullet that didnt expand. Is this possible with a Berger.
My guess would be not enough velocity and twist,and it's possible with anything.
