I'm always interested in the damage a particular Cartridge/bullet combo does at different distances and with youth season opening up tomorrow and the regular season in 2 weeks I thought I'd put this out there. 

Posts should include a picture (keep them at 250x250) of the entrance and exit wound (preferably with the hide off) with a breif description like.

Broadside shot at 75yrds with a 30-06 using 150grn Remington Corlokts. Bullet entered through front shoulder and exited on far side.

Here's the Ballistic info for my buck. 

He was quartering away at a trot a about 40yrds. I shot him with a 7x57 mauser using hornady light mag ammo with a 139 grain SST bullet at 2800 fps.

Here is a couple pictures of the fatal wound that my brother inflicted on the 7 pointer he killed this weekend.

This deer was shot with Winchester Super-X Power Point ammo in 180 grain configuration.   
The caliber was .30-06.

Here is the entrance wound:



and here is the exit wound:



It is kinda odd that the entrance wound actually looks worse than the exit wound, but that is precisely what happened in this case.  The shot was basically broadside with the deer slightly quartering towards him.  This was a perfect heart shot.

This next sequence of pictures are from the doe that FishFin killed Saturday. 

The shot entered just behind the left front shoulder, quartering towards.  The bullet traveled completely through about 6 rib bones and lodged itself in the opposite hind leg.

This was a 150 Grain Remington Core Lokt bullet shot from a .30-06. 



And here is what the recovered bullet looked like:





I would guess that this bullet retained about 40% of it's original weight, despite the massive amount of bone it encountered.

.270 Winchester, Sierra 130 grn psp entrance wound-




And the exit wound-



Never found the bullet, its in a bean field. As you can see the 130 grn bullet does a remarkable job. Death was instantaneous. I have shot a number of deer with the .270 that died in less than 5 seconds.
