Just what exactly should a good bullet do upon impact? A perfect mushroom? I shot my first deer with my muzzleloader this week. 250g Shockwave pushed by 100g pyrodex, Winchester 209 primer, from my TC Triumph. I hit the deer just a tad high. Got the top of the lungs, hit no bone. The deer went straight down. The bullet went straight through. Same size hole on both sides. No expansion. I was happy with the result, it was a clean kill with no meat damage, but was expecting a little more devastation I guess.
