[QUOTE="shootnmoa, post: 464359, member: 22662"] Since I last wrote that first post, I have shot two does, both about 130lbs. Both shot in the ribs, and both dropped where they stood. Never took a step or even kicked. They dropped as quick as the neck shots. I broke ribs on both of them, both on the entry and exit. The first one had about an inch sized entry hole and half inch or so exit. The second one had a 30cal entry hole and about half inch exit. I never recovered the bullet, as it went into the dirt on the exit sides. I didn't find any shrapnel in either one, just bone fragments. Both looked like a hand grenade went off in the chest cavity. I found only small pieces of heart, and lungs. Nothing penetrated the diaphragm to the rear. I am surprised with the damage on the interior, that there wasn't a bigger exit hole. Haven't shot one with the 165 Sierra, yet. [/QUOTE]
