[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1078656, member: 68875"] In AZ, we have some big bodied mule deer. I used a .25-06 Ackley to knock my last two flat. In 2012, I used a Barnes 100 TTSX @ 3590fps. Shot was 488 yards, quartering on. Bullet entered right front shoulder, exited left hip. I swear the deer never knew he was hit. He stood for 5 seconds without any reaction. I thought I had missed. As I chambered a second round, he stood straight up on his hind legs and went over backwards without a single kick or twitch. Not a drop of blood other than from his mouth. 24" wide, and I got 90# of meat. So I would guess 180# on the hoof?
