    Here is a Coues Deer I shot last year with my new Grendel AR build. It was a 300 yard frontal shot. Missed my target area slightly and the bullet went along the right shoulder blade. After it passed the shoulder blade the bullet split. One piece exited the hide and the other piece into the vitals. Deer took off running after the first shot and I was able to hit it one more time on the run but it was a gut shot. Deer only went 40 yards before expiring. I was using 28.5 grains of 8208 XBR behind a 123 grain SST in Hornady brass.

    Cant figure out how to get my images upload with Google Chrome. If anyone has any ideas let me know. Otherwise here is my summary.

        One shot through shoulder bullet stopped just under the skin midway behind opposite shoulder. Double tapped the brain just for good measure.

                  Just a reminder for those that haven't seen the OP, but we're only posting raw field data in this thread so it can be easily referenced and counted for statistics. If your posts were deleted, it isn't because of CoC or anything like that, just keeping this thread free of commentary.

                        Try a PM to the OP.

                        THE SUMMARY CHARTS HAVE DISAPPEARED!

                        Alos, it seems that several posters' images have fallen victim to Photobucket's change in policy.
