I managed to put together 4 more. Sorry about the lungs. For some reason, my scanner didn't like pink today.

#5 -
Animal: Fawn, Buck
Size: Tiny
Distance: Approx. 25 yards.
Presentation: Running left to right, broadside.
Wind: doesn't matter.
Cartridge/Bullet: .338 Win Mag. / Unknown handload.
Outcome: Full pass through.
Time to death: Instant

Bullet entered center of body, just behind shoulders, huge entrance wound (3"), gigantic exit wound (6"), dropped to ground. (Even for us, this was a small fawn.) Definitely too much gun on a tiny body, but it was what the shooter had in his hands. DRT.

No fragments recovered.





#6 -
Animal: Fawn, Buck
Size: Large fawn / small Doe
Distance: 398 yards (rangefinder actually worked on this one.)
Presentation: "Perfect" Broadside, facing left.
Wind: 30-35 mph, crossing right to left.
Cartridge/Bullet: .30-06. / Win 150gr Power Point (Handload)
Outcome: Full pass through.
Time to death: less than 30 sec.

Bullet entered left side of body, impacted spine, bullet and bone fragments shredded internal organs, 1.5-2" gap blown in spinal column. 2-3" exit wound. DRT.

Bullet fragments found around shattered spine, no large pieces.




#7 -
Animal: 2 year old Doe Pronghorn
Size: Average.
Distance: Approx. 400 yards.
Presentation: Broadside, facing left.
Wind: 25-30 mph crossing left-right.
Cartridge/Bullet: .30-06 / Win 150gr Power Point (Handload)
Outcome: Full pass through.
Time to death: less than 15 sec.

Bullet entered center of left shoulder, broke bone, broke ribs, shredded heart and lungs, broke more ribs, broke right shoulder, exited (1.5") center of right shoulder. DRT.

Many small bullet jacket fragments and lead residue found. No large pieces, or anything worth examining.






The Winchester Power Points used here tended to fragment much more than the Core-Lokts, and were affected greaty by recoil damage. (Deformed tips from recoil while in rifle magazine. They became innaccurate with even minor damage.)
