I think the tipped Barnes expand more reliably. Perhaps the tips help initiate expansion better. I have not had trouble with "soft" bullets killing, ie lack of penetration(other than obvious...

Tahr, You'd like Z, hes a tough gent like yourself. Determined too get in as much hunting and fishing as he can. Enjoying every moment of it, and showing many a younger man how its done.

Dark red would most likely be veinous blood, or blood returning to the lungs which for me isn't a lung hit in the vital exchange area anyway. Most likely it would be gut/organs and this would seem...

From what I can see, Left rear leg is not allowing deer to pivot and is stiff.

I stopped using that bullet after a run of needing two shots to kill Tahr with my 2506 - not a problem I've had before or since. Shit pill for me in that weight and in that cartridge and calibre.

So I went frame by frame on it, I don't think I can actually see the hit anywhere on the animal before the recoil wins. Obvious that it got it somewhere fairly well, but as you suggest not well...

I mostly agree. Definitely a hit as the deer did that quick wee stumble. My guess is quite forward, but under the spine and maybe clipping top of the lungs, as MD says. Not quite enough shock to drop...

You recoiled up to the left...just under backstrap in the thin lungs perhaps??? It did the wobble backwards thing so APPEARS to have taken the hit.

It seem to be holding it's right hind leg a bit funny so somewhere around the back end? Sounds a bit windy.

I enjoyed my time with a titan 6 luxus. I seem to remember Nick Harvey saying the titan 3 was the most accurate rifle they had ever tested. Tahr will be along soon to tell you to be careful...
