haha I figured I'd get a bunch of responses like that. But as I said...it did less damage to the meat than my brother's .308. The deer didn't get very far because the shot placement was perfect (she stood just right!!). The deer weighed in at 150lbs. She was one of the bigger does we've seen.
see the bullet only going 2500 fps just punches a big hole through it with a bit of expansion...
the deer shot that day (yesterday-last day of rifle season) on that land (7 square miles of property) were-
3 bucks-shooters used .257 roberts, 30-06, 300 win mag
2 does-shooters used 375 H&H and a .308 winchester
the .375 damaged less meat than all of them..even though it went through a shoulder...it didn't mess much of the shoulder.
the rest of the deer either had only one usable shoulder or two bloodshot shoulders.
try it some time big slow bullets=more meat for you!
*(anyone care to see a picture of the wounds and or heart/lungs???)
