Saw this bumped, so I’ll update my experience last year. Shot a 10 pt whitetail at 125 yards with a 6.5 and 143 eld-x. Double lung shot, broke through a rib on the exit. Deer ran about 50 yards and collapsed, no blood trail but a good amount of blood where he fell.
Not really sure what to think, bullet obviously did the job. Most of my deer kills have been neck shots with a .30-06 and are DRT.
Only other deer I remember running with zero blood trail was also a double lung shot that exited with a .30-06 and 165 gr pointed soft point, so maybe that’s just the way it goes sometimes.
