Only thing recovered from my daughter's first deer was the intact boattail and some peeled-back jacket. Penetration was straight midline of the body while the doe was facing us and the bullet remains were found in the abdominal wall muscle. It was every bit of 24" of penetration.
The ABLR works, but I would probably opt for the Barnes if ALL shots will be 100 yards and closer.
What barrel length/velocity?
