    Some nice pics and congrats on the bucks.

    What bullet were you using? Looks like just the jacket is all that's left? What distance and muzzle velocity? Looks like something better suited to varmints...

    That's a typical nosler in my experience. No front partition left as it dumps all that lead into the meat and body as the back partition pushes forward. It's why I would prefer to use the TTSX.

    It is the second NP i have recovered. Both were from shots with angles that caused the bullet to penetrate length-wise along the body. I have been considering switching to monos for a number of reasons, but also considering to always use one of my 30 cals as every animal i've shot with the 270 (bear, deer, cougar) has ran, not dropping on the spot. I think inside 100 yards on thin skinned game, a 270 kind of just zings through, not always dumping enough energy. I was running 150 grain NPs but switched to 130 as the rifle likes those a bit more.

    Nice blacktail, and glad you did your diligence on both hunts on looking for your buck....that's good you use flagging tape to mark your trail in, do you also use a compass? If not, it may give you more confidence in your bearings in and out, therefore in that instance you may not have had to turn around....
