Success with my 41 and a cast boolit

[BK7saum]

Went deer hunting this afternoon. Took my rifle and my Smith 57. I was sitting on the ground next to the fence watching a field to the southwest. Out of the corner of my eye I caught movement to my left. A 3 point, doe and fawn were about 8 yards to my left. Another doe was fourth in line and a little further back. I let the buck, doe and fawn walk on by before I was able to shift position without getting caught. I got into position as the last doe stopped at about 12-15 yards away. Lined up my sights and squeezed the trigger. The doe trotted and ran about 100 yards south before stumbling and falling down. I could tell she was hit well. Shot hit right behind the shoulder where I was aiming but she was quartered a little more toward me than I thought and angled back some getting the liver and front of the paunch. Not a big deal, just needed a little rinse. Complete pass through. The bullet was a MP 413640 with small hollowpoint over a charge of blue dot. Smith 57-1 with a 6" barrel.

Sorry, no pics. It was dark when we got. Loaded up and back to the house.

Ain't it grand!
As said cast is hard to recover on Whitetails. I have 3 HPs that I got out of the deer, I have others but I dug them out of the ground behind them. Even the HPs usually require a raking shot to not exit.
Penatration of heavy solids at slow speeds is unbelievable until witnessed.
Congrats!

good on you -- I have the same mold and made about the same shot with a 41/454 -208 gr gc hp at 1630 she went about 50-60 yards and I was puzzled until I dressed her and then I realized it was more angle than I thought -back of one lung--liver- top of gut and stopped in her right left ham --bullet weighed 136 grains and still had the gas check
