I used 50/50 alloy plus 2% pewter. It had a BC of 10.4 and was PC’d and GC’d. I had it loaded with 40 grains of varget with a velocity of 2100 FPS. It was a little destructive but slammed my deer on the ground like it was hit with Thor’s hammer! I took out both lungs. I am still hunting and will make sure to aim farther back to save the shoulders and see if I get the same drop in its tracks reaction. I was impressed to sat the least. My goal was to use an alloy and speed to drop a deer where it stands. I realize it was only one deer so I will be trying to find a few more test subjects during our anterless only and holiday hunts. It was only 11 yards away when I shot it. The doe was actually right under my stand and I had to wait till it walked away a little so I could get more of a broadside shot. I would say the exit in the Hyde was maybe nickel sized if I had to guess. I shattered the leg and shoulder which the fragments grenaded through the deer. I only found one little piece of lead in my gut pile about half the size of a BB. The shoulder on entry was trashed and I probably could have salvaged the meat on the opposite shoulder. My goal was to drop a deer on the spot with cast and if meat was lost I wasn’t worried. Goal met! I will be poking through ribs in and out only next go aground and see if I get the same drop in its tracks reaction. All I can say is i am impressed with the little 35 Rem cast hollow point!
The extry shoulder is in the bottom. The opposite shoulder on top. My boolit exited through the meat on the top leg.
