[QUOTE="SDMF, post: 355201, member: 412"] The 1st you asked about sheared off petals. It was a cow elk @125yds quartering towards and went through a bunch of bone. It's a 200gn TSX @ 2950 from a 300Win. The 2nd is a 100gn .257 from a 257Wby @ 3650fps. It was the 2nd shot on a Mule Deer @ 200yds. 1st shot hit the buck through the on-side front leg and low in the chest. The deer turned and ran almost dead away. I was trying to tuck the bullet just behind the last rib. What happened instead was it entered the rear quarter and exited right through the knee, then re-entered just behind the ribs, ran up through the chest cavity, through the off-side front quarter, and I found the bullet under the hide @ the shoulder/neck junction. All the petals sheared off, I suspect they probably all sheared exiting the knee leaving only essentially a .257 copper drill-bit going up through the rest of the body. The deer flopped @ the shot.
