a sierra bullet ...no way Beat me to it. I was going to say it must be faked, everybody "knows" Sierra bullets won't work on a good sized buck. Just don't tell the two hogs I popped last weekend with 100 grain Sierra Game Kings.  Over the years I've killed a gazillion whitetails with a 270 and 130 grain Sierra Gamekings. I shot them at ranges from 15 yards up to 450, and right off the top of my head, can't remember ever having track a wounded deer. The 270 gave me the quickest kills on deer of any cartridge I've ever used. I've killed 3 deer with the 6.5 Creedmoor, all of them mature whitetail bucks. The first two were taken using a 120 and 140 grain Nosler BT. They did the job, lung shot, deer maybe went 30 yards and died. I used the 120 grain Sierra this year because this particular rifle really shoots them well. After all, it's where you put that bullet that counts, not the name of it. My father handily killed many deer with 150 grain Sierras out of a 30-06. I know, I loaded his cartridges.

Not bad James,
I like the broken tip on that one side for sure. That tip doesn't look like it's broken. Looks like a healed over injury while the rack was still in velvet.
