42 yard shot facing head on, down after a 40 yard dash.
Ruger Predator shooting 129 ABLR @ 2365 fps muzzle velocity. Recovered bullet weighed 96.2 grains.
Recovered bullet in the belly meat after completely wrecking the doe's internals. Took out a 6" section of the ribs on the entry, nicked the heart, & continued to make a mess from there on back. Weird thing is that the doe's right leg was also broken without the bullet leaving the chest cavity. No bullet damage of the shoulder meat at all. Guessing that it had to be the hydrodynamic shock and expansion of the chest cavity that broke the humerous. I have no other explanation for it. It was not broken before the shot and the doe never put that leg down on her deathrun, so it was not broken during her run.
Abbie can't wait to get back into the woods to try for a buck! Going tomorrow as a matter of fact. I am one proud Papa!! May this be the first of many.
