[QUOTE="Hunter 257W, post: 3111096, member: 12277"] Just curious about the lack of a blood trail. Are most of these bullets exiting? I would think a 140gr from a 270 would exit with enough "OOOMPH" to leave a good size hole for blood to leak. I shot a buck this year with a 7.62x39 that left zero blood but the exit hole was tiny. I was suprised that cartridge gave full penetration at the sharp angle I hit the deer from considering the short 125grain 30 cal bullet. In a huge contrast I shot 2 other deer using the Barnes TTSX bullet from a 257Weatherby and it gave a nice 1 inch exit hole and one deer in particular left a blood trail an honest foot wide. [/QUOTE]
