Hi All,

Well I recovered this 7mm 139 Grn Hornady BTSP Interlock bullet for the left shoulder of a Whitetail Buck, bullet entered just behind the last rib on the right as he was going away at about 50-60 yards. Velocity of approx 2850fps, this was the 2003 season. No Whitetail hunting for me in 2004.




The bullet expanded to approx 0.600" and retained 94 grains of weight for 67.65% of it's original weight, good performance I thought.



And this is the Buck
