Nice shooting, Boolit did it's job ; )
H/D
That must be a hard bullet, several years back another member here showed the damage from a similar load through the shoulders, it destroyed the whole front area and looked like a grenade went off in it. Well done. Regards Stephen
Nice. What alloy, range? A little surprised it didn't exit.
I recovered the same boolit cast from 49/49/2 COWW, pure, pewter from the dirt after it passed through a spike buck at 25 yards. Hit no bone other than ribs. Push it to 2300 or so with Reloder 7. It was mushroomed quite a bit more and some broken off, weighed 158 gr., but the dirt may have caused some of the expansion/weight loss.
that's a pristine looking mushroom for going through a deer, or almost through rather. also if you could tell us alloy details that would be great. and good job
BERY NICE!!
I sent a 220 HP MP 359-220 bullet cast in 20:1 Alloy, thru the chest two ribs two lungs and heart then just behind elbo bone of 137# Buck last week... Nothing recovered Impact just shy of 1400 fps.

Good job looks like that bullet worked nicely
If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!
awesome , never did quite understand why the 358 cal rifles never caught on big time, more evidence they sure do work
Sorry to say I don't remember the exact alloy, but it was lead, wheel weights and pewter mixed to about 11 BHN on the alloy calculator. Range was 75 yards.
