Sunday morning I took an eight point buck with Hornady 123 gr. AMAX.
This is the 2nd deer I've taken this year with this cartridge. Each time, the deer have been DRT and the I've gotten complete pass through of the projectile with barely discernible entrance wounds. Exit wounds have been 6.5 caliber holes.
Both kills were above or about the shoulders so I'm curious why the round is knocking 'em down instantly, even though I'm not seeing large tissue damage?
Not that I'm complaining, much the opposite. I'm thrilled I get so much usable meat. I'm just curious why its working so well.
