P.S. We later found out the first bullet had exploded and there were bullet fragments all over the leg and chest with zero penetration into the core of the animal./quote]What kind of bullet was it?
She shoots 140 grain Core Lokts. Have never seen anything like it. The bullet went in fine right through the bisep region and looks as if the bullet deflected down. Thats all I can guess. I found flakes the side of my finger nail around and quite a bit of blood shot. The deer would not have died right there if it wasnt for the follow up shot. I guess its just one of those things. All worked out in the end!

All worked out in the end! That's exactly why I've posted on here many times that I would NOT use core-lokt bullets, especially for elk. My experience with them has been the same. It was my brother's deer actually- I personally have never used core-lokts. But in this incident the bullet disintegrated after hitting nothing more than a rib on a small mule deer. This was out of a 30-06 so it's not like it was the result of ultra high velocity.
