Shot my sheep at 160-180 yards broadside with a 162 grain Hornady ELD-X 7mm. This photo is the entry side, and the bullet entered right above the "elbow joint" right where I was aiming. It exited on the offside high in the rear ribs as the shot angle was pretty steep above us.
I have never seen this kind of carnage before on any animal I've shot with these bullets or the SST's I used to shoot before these. Wondering what could have caused all this damage in this instance. The bullet didn't explode, as we didn't find any fragments while cleaning and we had a defined exit hole about the size of a silver dollar...
Thoughts???
Trying to avoid damage like this in the future...
