I shot a couple of does this morning with a 129 grain ABLR doing 2217 FPS out of an 18" barrel:
- Doe #1: 150+pounds on the hoof. Hit her at 250 yards where she dropped immediately. As we skinned her out, the bullet hit the front, high edge of the shoulder and then impacted the spine. Couldn't find an entrance wound, but there was about a baseball sized area that was, well, chunks. Small exit wound on the far side of the neck, but I assume the bullet broke up/turned itself inside out.
Doe #2: 100ish pounds on the hoof. Hit her at 200 yards and she made it 10 feet. Bullet entered through the meat of the lower front quarter, made about a 1 inch in diameter hole in a rib, took out the top of the heart, tore up the lungs, and exited the other side of the chest cavity.
I continue to be impressed with the efficient terminal performance of this round.
