Big bro,
that deer was taken with a 139 gr lapua scenar, pushed to 3280 fps with 60 gr of re22, will not shoot another deer with the scenars, that one was a bang flop but I didn't like the performance of it.
Deer was hard quartering away, bedded actualy, POI was just at the top of the hip, when the scenar hit bone it broke in 2, a sectioned scenar shows a very large hollow cavity over 1/4" long from about there the ogive starts to the tip, it broke right where the hollow cavity starts, the tip was still at the hip bone, the jacket and core continued on, clipping the lower edje of the spine, sending fragments into both lungs, as the got almost to the offside shoulder they separated and were found SXS lodged under the hide at the top of the offside shoulder. she never regained her feet, but I feel I was lucky so I'm waiting on arrival of some berger 140's, gonna run some H-1000 behind them (62 gr). may lengthen the throat some and try to gain another 100 fps velocity, don't need it but if I can run a 140 gr (BC of .64) at 3300 fps it'll mirror the trajectory of my 7mm AM to beyond 800 yds.
