Thread: Recovered targex

For those who might be interested i was skinning out some reds tonight and found this just under the skin.

95gr rbbt 6mm launched at 3180fps. 120ish yard shot.
Was a raking shot that hit a full paunch (hard as Hell to a bullet) both lungs the off side scapula and associated flesh and came to rest under the skin at the shoulder/neck/brisket junction.
No I didn't send it it was a young fellas first deer and he used my girls gun(double meaning there )

Congrats to the young fella.

Oh and i forgot to say the blue bit to the right is the first bit of a barnes I have ever recovered.

I thought barnes dont rip up

They dont, its the plastic tip.

Righto

Looks like a 'Mighty Corelokt'

Not bad for a rat gun aye

It took two deer this weekend, both poorly placed engine room shots an it flattened both of em.

Cant be too poorly placed if it flattened them

If it hits the paunch and dragged a fist full of grass out threw a shoulder so im dry retching as I cut the entire rib/ shoulder/brisket off with a cleaver cos its green and rotten(to try and save the rest of it) its poorly placed

exactly what the 80gr targex do aswell good work to the young fulla VC.Same shot and there was 21gr, left it went thru the neck and recoverd it just under the skin of the opposite shoulder.

Yeah they work great in a .243

Just took a young fella out for first deer. Targex 165 in my 300 wsm. 3250 fps and 2 fallow spikers dropped on the spot at 50-70m. Wicked bullets!

At that range with a 300 mag you could have killed them firing a rolled up lump of chewing gum
