    Recovered Amax

    For those who maybe interested here is 30 cal 178grain recovered from a red deer.
    Launched at 2975fps at a touch over 400y for an impact velocity of around 2170fps.

    Shot hit some bone there was an exit hole presumably from bone or flesh pushed out in front of the bullet, found just under skin on off side.
    Retained weight is 70 grain or 74 grain including copper shard.
    My first recovered amax(I think?), have shot fair few with the 168 and usually don't get an exit and don't find anything other than tiny copper fragments.
    It was expanded right back to the base and the lead fell out when cleaning it.
