As promised in the other forum my daughter killed a big doe that dressed over 100lb's with my .243AI using a 105gr Scenar @ 3,100ft/s.
The doe was 186yds so bullet was traveling right at 2,700ft/s according to my Shooter App on my phone.
The doe was facing the woods with her left side facing us. You could not see a entrance hole on this side.
Entrance after the hide was pulled back from rib cage, just a small amount of blood shot meat and fat.
Entrance on the inside of the rib cage, nice 6mm hole going through the ribs.
This is the exit on the right side of the rib cage behind front shoulder.
The heart was ripped almost in half and the 20yd blood trail was significant to say the least, my daughter had a picture of it but accidentally erased it.
I did see a couple of small copper jacket pieces around the exit hole but didn't have much time to look, it was about an hour before dark when we got home Sunday so I had to hurry and get her cut up and in a cooler before dark.
