[QUOTE="turkeyrun, post: 3058879, member: 27991"] You didn't say how far the deer was, when shot. I'm guessing, not far. A 6mm caliber bullets, at that speed, will be frangible, at short distance. I have seen jackrabbit shot with .22-250, at 20 yards. Bullet did not have full penetration. Though the rabbit was utterly destroyed. I shot a doe at 70 yards with 7mmRemMag. Took out 2 ribs, heart, and right shoulder, leaving a fist size hole. Doe ran 100 yards before dropping. Can't call bullet failure, when critter is recovered, 20 yards away. Unexpected performance? Maybe. Jacket desperation at that speed, I would not be surprised. [/QUOTE]
