I think the hydrostatic shock does the killing with this bullet at close range. The deer just folded where they stood.
But I would rather not use this bullet at a 300 yard shot because I'm not very confident it will shock the deer's nervous system. For longer range I like Sierra BTSP, Berger VLD, Hornady Interlock BTSP and the like.
thats interesting. I figured with that kind of speed you did it for the flat trajectory at distance. with an impact velocity like that you didn't lose like half the deer?
