shot a big doe with a 295 gr powerbelt aerotip (copper coated) 100gr (2 50gr pyrodex pellets)
i have it sight in at 2" high at 25 yrds (only indoor range i can shoot my ML in)
i bang flopped her tonite at approx 180 yards from a 20 foot treestand
she was quartering to me (long story)
put cross hairs on her spine/neck meeting place and when the smoke cleared she was gone but the other deer with her was just looking down so i knew she dropped on the spot
the bullet hit 4-5 inches down from the top of her back infront of right shoulder and came out below the shoulder joint shattering the left front leg after climbing down re loading and walking to her (took 10-12 minutes) i was walking slow because the smaller doe (not a fawn) was still standing there in amazement
i had to shoot her with my .357 to end it (she could pick her head up but all 4 legs were not working but i hate to see/ hear them suffer
both holes are the size of the bullet no expansion at all
JD
pics as soon as i get developed ( i finished the roll tonite wahooo)
