Thread: Shooting through stuff.

A hunting acquaintance if mine had a tree strike with the 3006 down Stewart Isla d on a whitetail.
The guy that was meant to sort our tucker for the trip had done a naff job assuming we were going to slay heaps of deer.yeah...nah.
Anyway he knew there was a tree in the way but the only super clear shot would've wrecked the back half so no good.
Aimed as close to the tree as he old and let rip.
Just managed to hit the tree but got the deer.
Bullet was in 2 pieces and luckily didn't wreck buggered all meat.
My take on that is with a bigger bullet that goes through stuff, the bits that are left are still bigger so might still work. As MD suggested they can't be to far behind the sticks.
Anything too small turns into shrapnel
Obviously a bit of a generic theory as there are shit tons of variables
