I was a bit concerned about this bullet not expanding, out of my 270.
Finally done a hair test yesterday, wish I had taken pics.
Me and a buddy was walking some growed up hollers on his farm on a fill the freezer mission for his family. A deer stood up about 60 yards away and I knelt down and took the shot. Bam. Flop. I was thinking BIG doe the whole time. It turned out to be a buck with both horns broken off below the peds. We made it up the hill where the deer was and I found the entrance barely clipping the front right shoulder, when I flipped the deer over the exit hole was about the size of a nickle. I thought well that aint to good.
When i proceeded to gut the deer i cut the diaphram and blood flowed everywhere, i couldnt even find more thsn a quarter size piece of the heart, i washed the deer out and looked inside and it had blown a hole about the size of two golfballs right above the left shoulder.
So not to shabby for a heavy bullet but im gonna shoot a couple more before i decide to keep shooting these.
