Chalk another up to the 429421

[750k2]

8pt 13 1/2" inside, 40yds quartering away
Shot #1 - a little hop wasn't sure if I connected
Shot #2 - No doubt - a little stagger and drop.
Ended up with 2 holes about an inch apart right at
the back of the ribs driving into the off shoulder - no exits
21gr 2400 Anaconda 8"

I think I'll step my load back up to 22gr though.

Thanks Elmer

Great shooting! I'm surprised at the 'no exit' if you find out if you struck
a large bone or similar, please post so we all can learn.

Thanks, and congratulations! I thank Elmer a lot, too!

I shoot the classic keith load in my 4" Anaconda along with the Ruger FT. It is a great load.

What alloy are you using?Did you find any of the bullets?Would like to see pics of both the bullets and the animal.

Congrats. Always good to see another user of Elmers masterpiece score. 429421 has been very good to me in the meat department. I am amazed at the accuracy over a wide velocity range. I have had good results on whitetails with 18.5 grns of 2400 and 22 grns of IMR 4227. Big hole in bog hole out. Meat.

Ditto. I've never recovered a 429421 from a deer. I'd very much like to see some pics of the boolits and wound channel if you can post them.

More importantly congrats! I hope he's fine eating.

No pics gave it to a freind - but each hit a dif. rib on entry and all I could feel was one
exit into the off side shoulder which is where I figure both slugs went.
Both entrys were nice round cut holes and the exit from the chest cavity was
about 75 cal in size as near as I could feel - I felt all around the inside of the cavity and could find no other exit, I think they ended up in the same place - I asked if he was gonna buther himself because I would like the slugs back but alas he is takin him in to be cut up.
I was also surprised with no exit but they must have both come to rest in the roast.
Big enough deer at a guesstamated 180 dressed.

750K2--Based on my experience of this year,I guess the only way a person can really know what happened to the spent boolit is to do the butchering yourself. Last week I had posted that my .44 Devastator had "passed on thru" because I saw the exit hole as I gutted the deer. Upon butchering, 6 days later, I discovered the 219g remnant in the off shoulder near the scapula. Mushroomed real nice. Evidently a portion of the hp nose that weighed only about 50g had "passed on thru".--Shuz

Good work! Chalk up another one for the 429421!

I am surprised that the bullets didn't make it all the way through the deer. I have never recovered a Keith (23.0-24.0 grs of H110 or equivalent) from a deer. That's including a couple shot full length. Of course, mine didn't hit a heavy shoulder bone, either.

Congratulations!

The no pass through totally surprised me also - I rolled him over 3 or 4 times lookin for exits - Nothin. Straight WW and at about 1300ish as near as I can figure with the
prior chrono data I had.
I guess it is results that matter in the end and he was squirtin out the side good enough to see 50yds away - both lungs and liver were toast but the heart was intact - Boy I sure love the cookie cutter holes it puts in them.
