I have been enjoying the threads with bullet terminal reports on here, especially the .223 thread. I've shot 2 antlerless deer this year with a 130gr TMK out of my 6.5 Creedmoor, and with the one I shot yesterday I had lots of time and daylight so I took some pics of the damage. I've been very impressed with these bullets.
The first deer was quartering away. Bullet impact was around 2700fps and struck the scapula. Exit was just in front of the opposite shoulder. Exit was golf ball+ sized with massive chest cavity damage. Deer dropped in its tracks.
The second deer from yesterday was also quartering away. Impact was just behind the scapula at around 2750fps. Exit was through the offside scapula, and was about a little less than golf ball sized. The chest cavity was wrecked, top of the heart was gone, she did a 30-40 yds death run, crashed, and slid back down the hill a little ways.
First pic is entry with the shoulder folded back
Second is exit
Third is exit with the shoulder folded up
Fourth is exit with hide still on.
