180 gr N-P. pushed @ 2300fps with 41grs. Varget.Yes that is a exit wound,just hit ribs and let the air out of him(bilateral hemo-pneumo thorax).257 yds. per the Nikon rangefinder.I would guess nearly 100% weight retention of the 180gr.N-P,he went about 50 yds.The rifle has a 1:10 twist and the 180's shot 3X better than 165's in this rifle.
I like getting my pictures before field dressing,I think it looks better,plenty of bloody animal pictures out there.
