I haven’t caught any this year in anything I’m willing to go digging in.
Wife and I both used the 130 Scirocco out of my 270Wby on our bucks and they made for impressive kills. Oddly both had big holes in the on side rib cage after passing through the meaty part of the shoulder and approximately 1” exits. No sign of breakup, no fragments but big entry holes once they’d penetrated 2” or so.

Do Barnes guys get an automatic pass? LOL Should. Its so rare to recover one at all.
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

First year I hunted with factory ammunition. A pass through on a pronghorn with 130 gr 270 Win Hornady American whitetail. A pass through on a fairly large whitetail with 150 gr 308 Win Federal Blue Box. I guess the post title confused you.

No recovery of the 124 Hammer Hunter from a 6.5 WSM on a cow elk at 100 yards. Bullet through the rib cage behind the legs. Guess it's still circling the earth ;-)

I've only killed one whitetail buck this season, a good 6 pointer. The 7mm 140 grain Partition bullet passed through, so no recovery. The deer dropped in his tracks. Come to think of it, I've killed a lot of deer with the 7x57 using that bullet and I've never recovered a bullet.
