[NoSecondBest]

Here are two bullets recovered from one deer. First shot at around 90+ yards and the second at around thiry yards. Big difference in expansion. Note the base of the bullet. I don't know what causes that base to bulge backward but they always do. I've recovered a good number of bullets over the years and the Hornady XTP always performs well. I know most of you probably won't believe this but I've shot over 50 deer with the 357 and have never lost an animal. The only lost whitetail was with a 44 mag and it certainly wasn't caliber, it was me making a bad shot. Followed it for almost a mile and lost the blood trail. No caliber or bullet is effective if the shot isn't placed well. Just like an arrow, shot placement is the key to success.
