way to go! great thread, story and pics, nice work on the bullet info also, surprised that stayed in there, my observation has been we need quartering away and at least ~18" to catch an eld-m, so most of our broadside deer size game have been pass through, are you able to weigh that bullet? and is that hornady black? what barrel length?, do you have chrono velocity, I hear suppressors add a few fps but my 20" howa's had tight barrels and slow, 2475 fps to start and 2500 fps broken in with black, there is great data here to discuss further imo
ps that's normal that the jacket/core separate right at the tail end as they come to a halt, the lead likely trying to go just a bit deeper when the flesh finally grabs the copper jacket and then both found right there together, love the performance of these bullets and will take that every time, some look at that as failure...nope...what happens the last 1/2" doesn't matter but they sure do open up well and do the work all the way up to that, think of that jacket/lead separation at end of travel like the landing hook on the fighter jets when landing on aircraft carriers, it's that final grab of the hook/jacket that tug is needed for the heavier higher sd core to pull out ahead of the jacket just at the stop
I have had the jacket just under the hide and lead got away before, but multiple times found them together like yours, I shot a buck at 200 steep quartering away, 2100 fps impact (16" barrel, 2386 fps launch), went in 2nd last rib and finished in brisket meat, 99.8 grains recovered, 18" penetration, that was 81% retention and expansion was like 3x. So be curious to find out more about your example as I find it rare it stayed put in a broadside deer.Last edited by Stinky Coyote; 11-14-2022, 03:06 PM.Comment

should have launched around 2385 fps as my 16.1" barrel ruger bolt actions do, making that a pretty high velocity impact, be nice to see what it weighs, if you got an archery buddy or archery shop around they usually have a grains scale for weighing broad heads and arrows etc.Originally posted by txgunner00 View PostComment
