This was the first deer I've been able to take with my new USH Deluxe. The deer was slightly quartering to me - hit it right behind the right shoulder blade and bullet passed through a couple of ribs, made mush out of the top/back side of both lungs, shredded the liver (I mean shredded it), then passed through the gut and exited right under and in front of the left back leg with a hole about the size of a silver dollar. The deer trotted about 15 yards and was standing there trying to figure out what happened and the chest cavity finally filled up with blood and it started gushing out. It looked like a hose pipe was on full tilt. Went down for the count about 5 yards and 5 seconds later. I was using the 3/4 oz Federal 3" with Barnes Expander bullet (1450 fps I believe). Needless to say I'm very pleased with its on-game performance so far! I still want to find a better, more consitent shooting round for this gun though (wanting to try out the 1700 fps Winchester Platinum Tip). I tried out the Winchester Partition Gold earlier today (1900 fps). Shot 2 shots from 50 yards - they hit the target about 5 or 6" apart. I didn't waste the 3rd shot. I'm going to pass the remaining 3 shells on to my hunting partner to see if his gun will like them. If the platinum tips don't pattern well I'm going to give the Remington solid copper rounds a go.
