I shot a nice buck a few days ago with a 129 gr 6.5mm Accubond from my 260 Rem. He went about 20 yards but there was no blood trail. The wound was a pass thru. When I cleaned him I found there was about a 1 inch hole in his heart and he had bled out internally. Does the damage to the heart explain no blood trail?

That’s odd. My wife shoots those in her 6.5x47 and there’s usually blood everywhere.

I had that happen to me with the same bullet - it ran so far that my father in law made fun of me for missing. The heart was ground meat when we cleaned her out, put a bad taste in my mouth for that ammo - I still use it though. I have soup sandwiched a lot of big pigs with it. I think it was just a freak of nature.
