Entrance Under Shoulder


Entrance To Thoracic Cavity


Entrance to Lungs


Jacket Found




Core Located




I haven't cleaned up and weighed the bullet yet. But, I will. Considering the velocity on impact and that the bullet struck a major bone immediately on impact, I am not surprised that it separated. But, the core still drove through the lungs and came to rest at the back.

Damage was done to them, but the deer did not bleed from the entrance. All the blood came from her mouth as she ran. There was no blood at first, but then about halfway, the flood gates opened until she stopped. The picture in the original post show that location and the blood present.

I really like this cartridge............and the 240gr XTP is flat out awesome in every chambering I've used it!!!
