Message: <blockquote data-quote="swampratt" data-source="post: 4367723" data-attributes="member: 15054">I took my .223 savage axis armed with 55Gr v-max propelled by 26.0 gr H4895.This 140 lb field dressed doe did not do well.I have taken the meat off the other side then skinned this side and found the bullet went into the front chest where I was aiming as she was coming at me at 180 yards.Bullet entered chest area and blew out the front shoulder  as there was a hole in the shoulder blade you could pass a golf ball through and then the bullet passed through the guts and exited the rib cage area at the rear and then entered back into the hide 2" later and buried hair ,bone and bullet jacket and a bit of the red plastic tip into the rear leg.That is the farthest I have had the 55v-max travel through a deer.Messed up all the meat on the front shoulder and the first 3" of back strap and part of the rear leg.Only 1 tender loin off of that one.You can't make out what is going on in this picture.Neck and head is closest Hanging off bed of truck not seen in pic.I am holding part of what is the front shoulder in left hand and right hand showing where hair and shrapnel entered rear leg.What a mess.[ATTACH=full]531315[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
