Killed this deer this morning. Happy thanksgiving to me!! ...and to y'all too! Shot with 300 encore. Again a small entry and exit with no blood where I shot him. I watched him go down in the grown up clear cut though. Shooting 180gr accubond ct winchester. May switch to the hornady 150sat gr hornady sst ...I want a large exit hole.
Congrats ! Nice Buck ! :icon_thumright:

Congrats!
If you want a blood trail, try some Winchester Supreme Ballistic Tip Silvertips. If they come in your caliber, and I bet they do, they leave a blood trail Stevie Wonder can follow. :TooFunny:
:icon_thumright: 165 Ballistic Tip :OGturkeyhead:
Nice one ,,congrats
Good job, amen on the large exit hole!
I would go 180 NBT.
150 SSTs are like varmint bullets and more times than not do not exit, which gives no blood trail at all.
NBTs have a thicker jacket, yet still give explosive performance. The heavier weight NBTs penetrate quite well.
