Very nice Jim. The meat and hair just add to the coolness! Scotty

That amount of mass, though relatively slow, ensures penetration into tomorrow.

Yes I did. The bullet entered the back of the rib cage on a quartering on deer, took out the lung, liver, stuff and through the hind quarter stopping under the hide. Meat damage in the hind quarter was minimal.
