bullet performance (pics)

[magbolt150]

just would like to see what each bullet does as far as damage to a animal.
please post your entrance/exit holes along with the bullet and powder combination you used. this will be instrumental to many i believe in choosing a bullet for hunting.

Here is the exit hole on a Bear I took this year.

White Lightning .504 cal 80gr 3f t7 under a 510gr all lead conical my brother casts. The shot was 75 yards entered through the near shoulder blade and exited through the far shoulder. You can see a piece of bone on the hide. Did not find the bullet. Bear was DRT!!

Sorry, no wound pics of the deer. A very nice large doe that dropped in her tracks after a 105 yard shot.

Triumph using 80 grains of BH209 and a Barnes 250 grain TEZ (blue sabot)

We shot 6 deer this season with this bullet. Shots were from 25 to 105 yards with two dropping dead and the others ran no more than 40 yards. All were pass throughs except the doe pictured above. She was hit in the spine and the bullet lodged in her hip.

THAT my friend, is an awesome bullet....Spit has had similar results all the way to 180 yards.

This isn't what you asked for, but is all i have right now available to post. We were over 100 yard away, and this is what we saw. The bullet was a 44 caliber 300g xtp in a smooth Harvester sabot, pushed by 105g BH209, lit by a W209 primer.

Hey Frontier Gander, what happened to the 2nd deer? Did it lay dead for a couple of days?

lol scroungy as hell aint it? No, this one a low elevation deer, most likely a year to year and a half old. 100-115lbs. Sometimes the deer in CO just look nasty as heck. Still tasted yummy!

Here's the first animal I took with a muzzleloader. The load was 120g of BH209 and a 290g Barnes T-EZ. Shot taken from a tower-stand at about 40 yards. Entrance was on the right side of the neck and the exit was where you see the fist size hole with guts protruding...

Here's one my buddy Anthony took with his (formerly my) Remington Genesis from a two-seater ladder stand at 100 yards exactly. He was using 100g BH209 and a .44 cal 300g Hornaday XTP...

Here's a big fella that I was after for a while. I took him with 120g BH209 and a 250g T/C Shockwave from a ground blind at about 76 yards...

Here's a little female hog I took from a ground blind at 52 yards. I didn't know it at the time but I had shot through a feeder leg and then through the hog. The load was 120g BH209 and a 250g Barnes T-EZ...

Here's another big fellas I had been after for a while. He was also taken from a ground blind at 52 yards. The load was again 120g BH209 and a 250g Barnes T-EZ...

Here's another one a bang-flopped with a 250g T-EZ...

And another one...

Here's a small 8-point that I took with the same load. No damage pics as I took him to the processor...

Here's a good size 6-pointer I took with the same load. Taken from a ladder-stand at exactly 100 yards...
