    Recovered Bullets

    Who else likes recovering a bullet from downed game? I love getting a bullet back. I'll try and post pictures of the few I've recovered. Lets see what you got.

    I have a number of them but l really prefer a pass thru. If a deer runs after being shot,in our sandy country,you need a blood trail. Without a pass thru the blood is much harder to find and follow.

      I've got a couple somewhere. I'll see if I can find them. But, I'm like Winman, I prefer a pass thru. Don't get me wrong, I think its cool to find them but it doesn't' happen very often.

        I pulled a .257 Weatherby bullet out of a doe in Oklahoma last week. 100yrd shot, I was really surprised it did not pass through. It was quartering away and I hit a bunch of ribs and shoulder and it was lodged under the skin on the opposite side. Fell out as I was skinning it. Will try to remember to take a pic tonight.

            I pulled a 7mm08 out of the buck I shot this last week. Was a 120 yard shot and he was quartering away a bit and hit part of the shoulder and lung. Was a hornady 139 grain bullet.

              Recovered the bullet from a doe I shot. Broke opposite leg and found lodged in skin.

                I find terminal ballistics fascinating but finding a projectile inside a Texas-sized whitetail deer is not ideal. I'm looking for a bullet that blows out a sizeable exit wound and falls to the dirt having expended all of its ennergy.

                  Physics dictates that if it exits it has not expended all its energy in the animal....just saying.

                    It's always kind of interesting to see how a bullet performs on things. I predator hunt a lot so I try and use bullets that stay inside of things so I don't ruin pelts. The thing about that is it's mostly fragments I find if anything at all. I do have a Hog Hammer bullet out of a Blackout that I recovered from about a 150 pound sow.

                    I thought about getting a small drill bit and drilling a hole through it so I can fit a chain through it for a necklace. But that might be a little morbid and I don't wear jewelry so I don't know.

                        they run less with a 7 mag. you may not find the bullet but you will find the deer

                            I love terminal ballistics and bullet performance. Probably a little too much according to some but I’m digging this thread. I’ll have to see if I can find some to add to

                              Head or neck. They don't go far.
