I took a moderately nice buck this past Wednesday, 7 pts, 160 lbs live weight. First deer in three years. The bullet entered but did not exit. I recovered part of the bullet from said deer when field dressing it, the rest of the bullet was lost somewhere in the field dressing. I though I might find more when we butchered but we did that yesterday and I did not find any more bullet fragments.
This is the only part recovered.
This was a traditional cup and core bullet. The jacket was completely lost. The remaining lead core weighs 43.7% of the original bullets weight.
The deer was recovered so it hard to argue a complete failure but would you consider this a failed bullet?
Would that angle of impact change your opinion of no exit?
Would what the bullet hit (ie bone or not) change that opinion of this bullet?
Would the distant the deer went after being hit change that opinion?
