Bullet results

[mevertsen]

I wanted to post this picture here of my daughter's recent hunt. More so about the bullet performance just for information.
I know people ask about bullet performance alot.

.243 Winchester with a 20" barrel.
Near max worked up load of IMR 4350
Sierra 100 grain Pro Hunter.
200 yard shot.

I am guessing a year old doe, 100-110 lbs. She spun around, went 30 yards, stumbled around for a few seconds and tipped over.

Entry and exit wounds. Did not gut the animal, but when I retrieved the tenderloins, massive blood was encountered inside. I am presuming that the heart, liver and lungs all got hit with the angle.

Seen this with 243. They can be a bit frangable. Possibly just hit a rib on the way in and deflected. It did its job and the deer died quickly. Well done
