Plenty of pass thrus on chest shots on small deer, but mostly they stay inside large deer and pigs, especially because I like bone shoulder shots if I can get them

Castle Rock, could please give details on your components...make of brass, primers and OAL.

Thanks Tom

I am not familiar with Sambar and Rusa deer.

Chitals I saw in Argentina where they refered to them as Axis.

Where do you hunt them, CastleRock, New Zealand?

Alvaro,

Here's a .22-250 round loaded with the 70-grain GMX, what one looks like out of the box, and the one recovered from a pronghorn at 350 yards.
