I just started shooting Barnes TTSX from my 270 and killed two bucks this year. One was a Cull 5pt and the other was a 10pt. Both deer were under 185lbs. Disappointed in the performance. All of the kinetic energy is used inside the cavity of the deer which does not leave much left for an exit wound. Both deer ran 30-40 yards after impact with virtually zero blood trail. Exit wound was no larger than a nickle and I was very confused. I called Barnes and asked if this was typical, and they said yes. Both deer bled significantly inside the body cavity, but without a large exit wound, they could be difficult to track. Those bullets did exactly what they were supposed to do I'm not seeing the issue with this.
Keep your booger hooker off the bang switch.

Dang I'm dying to know what happened too! I doubt you'll find any bullet fragments, but a broken limb or sapling would help connect some dots!
That's what I meant. As for other fragments, I was saying in the deer

It would have to be a heck of a limb for you to hit in order to lose that much velocity IMO you would have seen the tree explode if it were a limb/tree hit. And a heck of a limb/tree at that to lose 47gr of bullet weight.
Only accurate rifles are interesting.

Yes I have seen something like it. The first deer my son killed was a doe standing broadside in a green field at 150 yards. The deer dropped in her tracks. She kept flopping around so I shot her when we walked up to her. He shot it with a 243 and a Hornady Interlock and the bullet hit the shoulder, turned straight up and exited above the shoulder beside her spine on the side of the bullet impact. Bullet didn't break the shoulder and never penetrated the body cavity. Apparently there was enough shock to her spine to put her down but she probably would have eventually got up and run off if I hadn't shot her again.
If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14

And a heck of a limb/tree at that to lose 47gr of bullet weight. maybe not. Buddy of mine shot a good buck at 80 yards in the woods, hit a 3" diameter tree bout 50 yard s out. Killed the deer, it ran 250 yards. Didn't see the tree until we were on the other side of the tree. I think he was shooting a 7 mag or a 300 mag.
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

Even with 90grs of lead left it should have had enough velocity at that short range to penetrate I would think but heck if I know. Even if it did hit a limb, it would still have plenty of speed left to penetrate the deer at 1000 fps. And that's giving the thought of the bullet slowing way down

I got away from those years ago and won't be going back. This is the only animal I've ever lost on fusions and I have killed a dump truck load of hogs with them. After reading the above statement I seem to remember you losing a bet to me a few years ago on the farm. Something about you shooting more yotes than me hogs on the farm. I seem to recall I blanked you young man.(3-0) Hell you even let a baby yote live so your wife wouldn't get mad......that same year.

i'm thinking the angle was sharper than is appeared, letting it skitter along the ribs. still, it expanded, and stopped after only 3.5 inches. i'd send it to federal and ask 'em what happened. send the lot number from your box of ammo; even better, send the box and remaining rounds so they can be broken down and the powder weighed, etc. this could have happened with other rounds from that lot number. weird, truly weird ...

How bout you? You know I haven't been able to hunt this year. Sustaining work is a whole lot more important. Hopefully next season will be better. I do owe you a hunting trip though. If I join a good club you'll have to bring your son up too.

my dad shot a doe bout 10 years ago runnin across a field an he hit her full stride an I mean she was skint back. he missed her the first shot but folded her up the second an it looked similar to what you have best we could figure was that when she flipped forward she must have flipped around the bullet so it came out the same side it went in bout three inches apart or it richoched or something. it was crazy. it was a brownin bar 30-06
