    I blame the 270 first, pathic Cal lol. Secondly, Hornady can be crap at close range, i hate them under 60m .
    I have shot a few deer now front on with the mighty 243 and using softnoses and everyone of them have gone straight down, dead! i aways take that shot if i had a chance as they all drop.

    Its possible just hit bad, missing all the vitals, crap ammo for close range or just missed . Its one of the three lol. Use a 243 and its dead and use softnose rounds under 100m as they work
    a hell better than many other ropunds up close
