    Hornady 139gr Whitetail ammo in 7m mag doesnt exit.

    I was interested to see that the stag i guided my mate into today to shoot his first my mate used the Hornady 139gr whitetail ammo in his 7m mag (3150fps) He shot the stag from maybe ten feet in the back of the neck and it went straight down. The projectile didnt exit, and damage wasnt huge. We found the round well mushroomed against the skin on the other side . I found that quite surprising....any thoughts

    Not surprising given the range, velocity & what it hit, extreme conditions for a projectile, if it was an Amax it would have been very messy....

    Cheers, just thought as it didnt appear to hit much bone at all the short distance to exit for a 7m mag it would or make some more mess, ..but there you go...what i know

    I shot a tahr not long ago about 20 metres away with that bullet in the neck, straight through bone and everything, exited never to be seen again.
