Free: Contests & Raffles.
A week ago this past Sunday, I harvested a nice blacktail buck, it was shot with a CVA Accura, Barnes 300gr TMZ and 120 gr T7 magnum. at about 20yds, passing completely thru, and crushing two ribs. Both entry and exit where very clos to same dia. Yesterday I found the bullet, pictured below, and the buck also pictured below.My question is, was my velocity to much for so close range, to allow for maximum expansion? Or should I look for another bullet to do the close work?
What sabot do you use with the Lehigh bullets.Thanks for the info.
For some comparison. Here is a traditional lead core bullet (Hornaday sst) under simular conditions. CVA elkhorn. 250 grain bullet over 120 grains of pyrodex. Roughly 20 yard shot. Through both front shoulders of a blacktail. Found just under the hide on opposite side. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
