First of all it wasn't me, I'm just relaying the story, so might not have all the facts....
A clients, GF shot a small Red Deer reasonably close sub 100 yards, the projectile went along the rib cage breaking ribs etc, little internal damage, then veered off/disappeared, the Deer then went 2-300 yards before being subdued.
I have shot a goat, DRT, but the bullet also veered a fair way off course....I didn't think much of it as it dropped on the spot until he mentioned his little drama.
I know it is a ridiculously small sample & anything could have happened, but being a short stumpy projectile might not be helping ... ?
I haven't shot anything else with my ones except targets.
Another client is very happy with his sub-sonic terminal performance with the 225 ftxs.
Just looking for Guys with more experience with the calibre for help with it.
