Yesterday, I had an empty freezer, an antlerless deer tag and two days remaining days to fill it.
I went to my late season honey hole ( deep in the wood ) and set up a ground blind. Along come 3 Whitetail does working their way off the ridge. You can see a good long way through the forest in January. I was sporting my .52 Disc Extreme shooting the .275 Lehigh / Bloodline with 100 grains of BH209.
At about 90 yards the clear the ground cover for a broadside shot and are still on top of the steep hill I'll need to exit. I thought great, this is the perfect place to take a shot. I take the lead one and dang it, she proceeds to sprint downhill, meaning I'll need to carry her back up. At the bottom of the hill the adrenaline runs out. The autopsy reveals that the base and three of the 4 petals of the bullet had exited the off side. The vitals were shredded.
My Son and I have shot 5-6 deer with these bullets and the just flat out work!! Tenderloins on the grill tonight.
