22 Hornet for Deer

[PistolPete]

60 gr TMK at 2200 impact ruined this large-bodied buck's day. Busted ribs going in (slight quarter toward), destroyed one lung, went through the back of the other, through the diaphragm, into guts, no exit. He went 10 yds, but was alive for a few minutes before his head went down - presumably since it only clipped his offside lung.

That’s a nice looking buck! Congrats on being one of the first with the hornet!

What was the total penetration?

I'd say 10-12"

I just scored one of the new Ruger #1 in 22 Hornet. I think I may punch it out to a K Hornet and then the fun will begin.

That'll be a slick little rig!
