Hopefully the pics work.
This is why I'm walking away from nbt bullets for good.
First deer with my 16 inch AA barreled grendel used the PF loaded 100 nbt.
Shot distance 60 yards +/- 5 yards.
Whitetail nub buck maybe 60 pounds soaking wet, more so since it had just finished raining.
First shot was head on, deer had it's head down eating, I centered the reddot between it's shoulders but pulled my shot too the right a lil bit and bullet landed square on the left side front shoulder blade and exploded, damaging the cms and knocking the deer down.
After a few seconds the deer started to flop around trying to get up, so I got back in the gun by that time the deer and got it's self broadside and bout 5 feet left of the impact area from the first shot.
Took a second shot to the high shoulder and ended it.
Get it home and start skinning and find what really happened.
First shot exploded on shoulder blade, blowing the blade apart, destroying the lungs,liver and guts.
Second shoot entered huge hole under skin and exited out the other side leaving a half inch exit hole.
Lost the whole front quarter and half the backstrap.
Muzzle velocity of the PF load should be close too 2600 so figure at 60 yards it was going 2550 maybe closer too 2500 fps.
Wish I would have had my scoped grendel, i don't like taking young bucks but simply couldn't see the nubs.
Still a legal deer in LA but not my preferred type of deer would have rather it had been a doe like I first thought it was.
Only pic I can get to resize enough to load, pic of impact area of both shots.
