i don't recover these often, this is my 2nd ever, with dozens of deer shot...
about 200 yards, 234 Winchester, tikka t3, quartering towards, bullet entered behind front leg, demolished one lung, through liver, caught corner of stomach, was recovered about 1 inch into back ham.

I've had similar experience with the TTSX that I use. Same for a .243, 25-06, and .270. Use 80 gr. in the .243, 100 in the .25, and 110 in the .270 unless it's for elk and then use 130gr. . Don't recover many but the few I have there has been less than 1-2 gr. in weight lost.

Had one similar recovered. Barnes TTSX 139gr out of a 7mm-08. Really impressed with the bullet especially for personally just making the copper switch. Easy tracking too. Deer didn’t go far.

Good thing it was a 234. We all know what happens when it's the "other" one.

On a side note:

I didn't shoot my deer with a Barnes product this fall. I think hell may be freezing over....

I shot my buck @ 100 yards with my 264 and a 156 EOL. Hard quartering with it's ass to me. Entered rear rib cage and exited front offside shoulder. Quarter sized going in...MULTPLE exit wounds. Largest being 2x quarter sized. I found pieces of that bullet in the front shoulder, heart, rear quarter and backstrap. Lungs were complete goo, liver was half gone and there was a dime sized hole in it's heart.

Deer didn't even twitch. He just fell straight down and laid there.

It was a clear, crisp, calm morning and I think the thud of that bullet hitting is still echoing down that draw.

The bullet fragments I found weighed 26.8 gr combined.

It was interesting.

You look a lot different than your profile picture. Not saying better, just different.

Did you weight the bullet after recovery?

There is a bit of hair and stuff stuck under the petals I wasnt able to get out with a pin, might explain the extra weight...

Nah, I've weighed bullets and broadheads when new for shits and giggles. You would be surprised at how different they can be from advertised weight.
