Re: 7x65R, a killer for the break open gun?

Had another great hunt with my 7x65r drilling last weekend, two chital stags.



Here the recovered bullet from the second stag. The first was a neck shot so the bullet went through. I'm not a fan of the neck shot but he poked his head up along the side of the hill I was only about 50 yards away so beggars can't be choosers...

Its a 7mm 154 gr. Hornady. It was a quartering towards me shot, across a small gulch or valley. Bullet went in through part of the left shoulder and lungs and then deflected back through the paunch stopped at the skin on the other side. The musheroomed bullet is about 134gr, so it lost about 20 gr in the animal. Not bad for breaking the front shoulder and then going through most of the paunch/ruminant material.
