This is a picture of a Barnes "red hot" 180 grain bullet that I recovered from a doe. 100% weight retention and perfect expansion. The bullet went in behind the last rib, and lodged in the neck. Apparently, it did not hit any bones, but the deer still only ran 25 yards. Pretty impressive.
I was shooting the bigger 265 grain bullets from several different manufacturers, including powerbelts. All with limited success. I'll stick with this 180 grain bullet.
