Thanks. I'm sure it was the 270 bullets I was wondering about.
I was talking to someone the other day, turns out we had both been hunting very close to each other last year during the rifle season. And we both found wounded deer that needed to be shot. And both had previously been shot with a bullet having the yellow poly tip. The deer I took had it's left front leg torn up pretty bad as a result of a shot it took to the right side ribcage. When I skinned it, I found that the bullet impacted at a point that should have killed the deer. But after it exploded on impact, what was left of the bullet seemed to follow the contour of the ribcage, sort of going around it and exited the other side without hitting the lungs. The yellow tip, several small chunks of both lead and copper were just under the hide in the rib meat. My friend said the one he found and shot was very similar, the bullet was just splattered all over the shoulder and never penetrated. We’re betting the same person shot both deer. This reaffirms my idea that fast ballistic tipped bullets are not suitable for the deer woods.
