Last Thursday I had the good fortune to harvest one of God's beautiful creatures, whitetail buck, in Northern Idaho. I was using my 270Win I purchased last year and shooting the Hornady Outfitter ammo with the 130 grain CX bullet (sexy looking ammo by the way). This is my first experience with this bullet that I thought I wanted to reload with in the future however... Holy smokes does this bullet do some damage. Bullet went through the heart and out near the base of the neck. The blood shot trauma on the entrance side was crazy. Deer was at just over 200 yards so the bullet wasn't carrying massive amounts of energy but to see that much "shock" trauma was crazy. Bullet was a pass through and to be honest I had trouble locating the entrance until I took off the hide. Sorry I didn't take pics. Anyone else have experience with this bullet?
