Message: <blockquote data-quote="AllOut" data-source="post: 1875424" data-attributes="member: 12099">Yes i realize this, I didn't really want to get into writing a novel earlier.What I said was basic priciples indeed but its still Physics and the laws are fairly simple.I use a NOS BT the "hunting" bullet so to speak. I built this round as a test to see how it would really work and was trying to not get pass throughs. Just a test based off what I learned in my class. I just happen to get lucky and the round did exactly what I wanted it to, and was rather devastating on deer so we ran with it.If I was to make that same load using a Partition or AB id bet it would have went ahead and passed through. The bullet I recovered from my deer was still if fairly good shape (not just tiny pieces of copper jacket). As far as physics go, there is no arguing the fact that pass throughs are waisted energy. Now the fact that a lot of rounds can deliver 5x the amount of energy needed to kill a deer and still pass through... Kind of makes it a moot point.But looking at the deer on my wall right now, of the 4 I've shot with a rifle I don't remember any of them being pass throughs.One was 135lb field dressed, broad side shoulder (a little forward) with a .243 shooting factory Remington Core locksThe other was 185lb FD, quartering away shot entered back of rib cage beside the spin with .264 WM 140 gr factory win supremes.Next is 165lb FD, shot twice in neck (accidental, long story) and once behind the shoulder with same .264Last years was 175ish iirc FD, the deer in my pic. With high shoulder with .300 and my hand load.I never really purposely looked to not get pass throughs til the last one. I've just never really had any do it on bigger bucks. I've blown through some doe for sure though.</blockquote>
