[QUOTE="Tenntrapper, post: 5492456, member: 18110"] I'm not sure what to think about this. So, I'm asking you guys opinions. I shot a deer this evening. For reasons I won't get into, my bullet hit a little high...and back. The deer was quartering towards me. I hit the spine on such an angle, that it plowed through about 4-6" of spine. The bullet did not exit, but was close. Small exit hole, but not big enough for bullet....it was just under the hide. The bullet was a 143g .264 Norma Bondstrike. It was loaded to about 2900 fps. The deer was about 125 yards away. The recovered bullet weighed 76g. Im including a couple pics. On one hand, the bullet did it's job, the buck dropped straight down. On the other...no exit wound, and massive weight loss for a bonded bullet. I just don't know if that's good or bad considering how much spine it went through. Any thoughts?? Edit to add... I measured from both sides..90 degrees apart. The expanded bullet is .630 x .525 Looks like it doubled+ it's original diameter. Taking the advice given...I won't use this one to form any negative opinion. It did work after all. Thanks guys [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_20221128_183411__01.jpg"]158350[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_20221128_183423__01.jpg"]158351[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
