this was from a deer shot on monday opening day Wva.

through the neck into the right sholder.

this is the first 140gr btsp hornady I have recovered, 93.7 grs..

Been using them for several years and cant beat the killing affect.

Thanks for the photo.....The .270 is now and always will be a marvelous deer getter.....and it don't seem to care whose bullets it shoots at them.

Any idea what stopped it?

My .308 bullets (in 308 and 30-06) almost always go all the way through. The only time I was unable to find an exit wound was when I shot the deer lengthwise.

nearly 67% weight retention, EXCELLENT!!

i LOVE pics of recovered bullets

up hill shot, the deer was facing me with its head down.
The neck was pulvirized along about 10" of bone the bullet then traveled down through the sholder breaking bone and ended up under the hide,
usually wait for a better shot but i had watched this deer feed for about 45 min, and it was raining and started to get foggy.

That was a great shot. It also explains why you were able to recover this bullet.
