Barnes 250 gr Expander MZ at about 80 yards quartering to on a whitetail buck. Good lung damage as usual, bullet recovered almost backwards under the hide near back of rib cage. I almost always get pass throughs with this bullet, but I think the widely expanded bullet tumbled when hitting the far side ribs.

120 TTSX from a .280 Ackley at about 40 yards quartering away. Whitetail buck dropped. Surprisingly no exit, didn't recover bullet, as it was hot and I was donating the deer, which had to be delivered whole.

100 gr Hornady BTSP from a 6mm Remington, 300 yards quartering away on a whitetail doe. Silver dollar sized hole in the on side ribs, good lung damage. Bullet shattered the off side shoulder blade right at the ridge, then exited with a 50 cent piece exit through the off side ribs. First time I've used this bullet since 1987, and from the same box of bullets.

90 gr Absolute Hammer at 280 yards from a .257 Wby on a mule deer buck. Broke both shoulders and dropped so fast I missed seeing it due to recoil.
