actualy with say a 53gr triple shock and impact velocity of 3200fps at just shy of 200yds.
thats what happend this last deer season, i live in idaho, i can hunt only bucks. idaho mulies are considerd to be big, atleast bigger than average texas deer.
anyways i have lots of rifles i shoot lots. and i have bigger calibers 2506 270 and 3006
the rifle i used was my #1 loaded with a 53gr triple sock. the load exits the muzzle at 3800 and some change. i shot my deer quartering hard away wich meant i hit it a long ways back right at the last rib(actualy centerd it), and angled hard forward pentrateing over 24" comeing to rest just insidde the hid on the far.
were talking inside the hide of the shoulder after it pentracted shoulder bone. for alittle buttle impacticting a rib at 3200 going through vitals impactiong shoulder bone then comeing to stop was very amazeing to me.
i bullet did not exit. deer went a few feet tumbeling over forward. upon cleaning i did not find the bullet. waited till i got home and skinned deer. still finding no bullet. i had to lay the hide out on the floor and feel around. finaly found the bullet. it looked like a perfect mushroom. so i toss it on my scale. all it looks like is mushroom. it mushrromed back 3/4s the lenght of the bullet. and it also weighed alittle over 53grs so i took it to sink cleaned the flesh out of the peeled back petals and it now weighed exackly 53gr 100% weight retention.
i had some 44mag bullets so i placed the mushroomed triple shock on it and it had exspanded to well over 44mag diameter. kinda of amazeing for small pointed bullet impaction bone at 3200fps.
i am now true belive in barnes triple shocks. i load 115gr triple shocks in my 2506 and i feel there is nothing in idaho or most anywhere i couldnt hunt with the load.
