This is a 140gr Hornady Monoflex from a handloaded 30-30. This is the 30-30 version, not the 308 Marlin Express one. Loaded over Leverevolution powder and CCI primer in Hornady brass. I believe muzzle velocity was around 2200 fps from the 20" barrel of my buddy's stainless Marlin 336.
This bullet was recovered from a 90 lb doe shot at about 10 yards. My buddy was hunting on the ground and a doe popped out (he was hunting on a trail with thick woods around him) around 30 yards or so and started walking straight towards him. Luckily he already had his gun up on shooting sticks. He shot right in the chest as it faced him. She crumpled at the shot and the bullet was found in one of her hams. He sent me some pics but no good frontal pics. Bullet weighed 140 grs. Not bad at all!
