Unless hit in the brain the spinal cord, deer almost always run. Heart shot deer tend to jump before running surprisingly long distances. It requires time for the lungs to fill with blood when the shot takes out the lungs, and the deer shot in the lungs will run until oxygen deprevation...

Powder does frequently adhere to plastic through electrostatic action. Not at all unusual. A nylon bristle brush is often required to sweep the propellant from the sides of the hopper.

Now, that is just unfair! It would match perfectly the Model 70 280 that I've used for the past twenty years or so.
