fisherguy Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 Re: Not for weak stomach! How did that work? I have seen probably 30 deer the guys who hunt with us shot, and most were with a 7mm mag, some with a 30-06, a few with a 300 win mag, and one with a .375 H&H. None had an exit wound bigger than a couple inches. Are you sure that wasn't a 50 cal.? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

popgun Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 Re: Not for weak stomach! Just by looking at the photos I would say that is the exit wound. The entrance wound must have hit the right front leg bone, exploded it and drove all the bone fragments out the other side like shrapnel. A lot of destruction there, but I would bet that buck didn't run after the shot. Sometimes a bullet like the Hornady .452 SST will cause damage a lot like that if it hits bone. .....popgun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LifeNRA Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 Re: Not for weak stomach! My brother destroyed a deer with his 7mm mag too. Blew the front shoulder out worst than that! Needless to say he doesnt use it for deer anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OJR Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 Re: Not for weak stomach! A few years ago, I shot an elk that was over 200 yards from me with a 7mm Mag and was using a 160 grain Nosler Partition. It was quartering slightly away from me. I hit a rib going in, behind the front shoulder. It went through the lungs and hit the off shoulder and the bullet blew up! It ruined the entire front quarter of the elk. I quite using Nosler Partitions and sold the 7mm Mag. I have used a 270, 308 and 30-06 ever since and have never had any of these problems again. I use Hornady BTSP, SST's and & Interbond bullets. I also use Barnes "X" BT bullets. I shot an 8 point buck last fall with the 270 and Interbonds and no problem. It was about 75 yards away. I also shot a buffalo with the 270 and used the Barnes 140 grain bullet. No problem! Magnums and bullets that blow up will get you these results all the time!

JamesVee Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 Re: Not for weak stomach! It's pretty amazing to compare the results of the replies from this forum to those at huntingnet. Almost all of the guys there say that is an impossible picture. Personally, I believe it. I smoked an eight point three years ago with a .338 at 60 yards. Exit hole was about the size of a softball, just behind the shoulder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WaCoyote Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 Re: Not for weak stomach! OK, I'm going to go out on a limb here. I don't think it is solely an exit wound. I think something ate around the exit wound making it larger. So the skin just vaporized? That's 1/4 inch thick in that area. Sorry to be the skeptic, but daddy aint buyin today!

Turkeygirl Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 Re: Not for weak stomach! Wow, that's brutal! I had a shotgun slug do something similar to that on a young doe but she was running and I hit her in the shoulder and the running is the reason I think the hole was so big.

Guest youngBlood Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 Re: Not for weak stomach! ive seen this happen, sometimes worse. You would be surprised what a bullet traveling that fast does when it hits a road block(large bone) a buddy that hunts with me took the whole shoulder off a doe. what pop gun said is exactly how it happens. Ive shot 4 deer with my 7mm this year and had no problems like this, but it does happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
