Parker bullets, 60gr H4198 .45cal Match Grade Machine Encore Pro Hunter.
Last weeks little buck around 150yds with a 270 E-Max. Deer made it 40-50yds. Picture shows exit, entrance was shoulder. aluminum tip found in deer while dressing.
Today I shot 2. First one was around 60yds with a 275BE and second was around 40-45yds with a 270 E-Max. What a mess the E-Max made at close range compared to 150yds.
275 BE entrance (I'm pretty sure)
This is exit of 270 E-Max
Both deer were shot from a ladder stand and exits are low. Both deer actually ran about 20yds before collapsing.
I don't think a Band-Aid is going to help that boo boo
I don't eat the guts and always try to aim for the heart so I am A-OK with that devastation, but it reminds us that angled shots may produce less than optimum results.
Congratulation on the harvests.
edge.
PS as a side note, if you do not need to leave the woods with the whole deer, I would slice the hide down the spine and de-bone without gutting that deer.
I have to say that is massive , I also shoot 270 E Max in mine . I haven't had that extent of damage yet . What kind of velocity ? I have had thoughts of too much damage but if it puts them down , and shoots accurate I will place the shot and get the deer!!! Thanks For Sharing Jason
