The lungs from a Deer I killed the monday before the bear. I think they expand fine. This deer dropped in it's tracks. 200 yards. 177HH.
 
Before last years opening of deer season I switched everything I hunt big game with to hammer bullets. 6.5 Grendel, 6.5 Man bun, and 7-08. Killed two with the Grendel, 99 grain at near 2775 FPS. Boom flop. 110 in man bun. 3100 +. Nothing went more than15 yards. They were lung hits. Most DRT. 6 of them. 7-08 with 120 HH all one and done accounted for the rest. Hit one buck at 485 didn't account for wind and hit him in the butt. Took out both femoral arteries he went 20 yards. not my best moment in the field, but dead is dead. I'll never go back to cup and core bullets and I hated Barnes before I switched only failures in game recovery was with them. I shoot up c and c bullets at paper. 16 deer all either DRT or kicking up dirt for about 20 yards. Man I love Alabama and hammer bullets.
