For me they have really put the hurt on probabaly 2-3 case of clay birds... but probably not what you meant?

The way the bullet works.... It will go through hide and bone with out the petals opening very much at all... when the nose of the bullet contacts liquid it begins to open if it continues open - the more liquid the quicker it opens.  When the petals get to 40* the will break off and rotate out.  In a liquid atmosphere that will travel 6-8" punturing vital organs.  The rest of the which is most of it will continue on with its sharp jagged edge creating even more Hydrostic shock as it passes through the liquid atmosphere.  It acts much like an old Keith Nose Lead conical and usually exits out the other side.

Also if the petals come off because off blood in muscle tissue they can only move a couple of inches before they run out of energy and stop, but again the core of the bullet continues penetrating.

So yes you can get an internal mess in the vitals cavity and a lot of blood escaping the animal...  If you look at the doe or even the buck - you can see the escaped blood and that was before any knife cuts had been applied.  Meat damage... is not any worse than any other bullet.

I switched to the bloodlines this season and put the smack down on my 4x4 with eye guards. way more impressed with these than the barnes.

Scopes are ok on muzzleloaders, except during muzzleloader seasons. You could hunt modern firearm deer or elk season with a scoped muzzleloader, or bear and cougar anytime.

Rifle season in Idaho... I only use ML's now, during hunting season, modern ML during rifle season and a Pac Northwest legal ML during ML season.

Here is a more recent Bloodline story - written by a freind of mine hunting Antelope in South Dakota...

Another Speed Goat Story.... only this one has a better ending, for me at least. The smokepole did what the bow couldn't. It was actually a rather quick hunt, but I have the pleasure of helping the wife get hers now.
We left the house at 6:30 and I had him in the fridge at 7:30.
He isn't the biggest one around but he had my name written on him.
The shot was 207 yards. He was facing me . I waited and waited but unlike deer they don't usually turn. If they turn it's to take off at high speed, so I decided to go ahead with frontal shot right between the legs. i was prone with a gun mounted bipod so it was a very steady rest. I pulled the trigger  and he only went 8 yards. I stepped it off. He fell over kicked twice and was dead. The bullet entered exactly where i was aiming and came out behind the front leg. The entire chest cavity was destroyed. The energy and damage must have been extreme to allow him to only make it 8 yards before he expired. I quartered him, put him in the fridge and took off again to help the wife.  We did find 2 bucks and she could have had a very nice one, bigger than mine, but another hunter drove up toward us and spooked them off before she could work her way close enough. The the guy gets out and shoots one of the doe from the hood of his truck. We decided to hunt somewhere else. besides the season is young. I have a doe tag and she has a buck and doe tag yet so hopefully I will get the opportunity to post another picure or two in the days ahead.
