Only the second of hers I have recovered. Am seriously wanting to change bullets because, well why not. Thinking about making a major change. To the tipped Hornady Interlock, I have been loading the old ones for 18 years now for her, getting bored with the same results. Hear the distinctive POW, then within a few minutes I get a text telling me where to drive the tractor to. Almost always the same scenario she deer jumps/kicks and makes a dead run for about 40 to 50 yards before piling up. I don't have a walk in coole and hanging one around here for very long would result in a wasted deer. Mine are bones out and in the freezer within 24 hrs.
