[QUOTE="Buzzgun, post: 854017, member: 4715"] It wasn't "decisive" in any way. The dog was shot at about 6 feet, bullet entered from above, 3" or so down from the spine and traveled down through the lungs. The dog yelped and ran around 100 yards before falling, bullet did not exit and there was no blood trail. Keep in mind, this dog probably only weighed 50 pounds. This was with a Nosler 135 grain jacketed hollow point. A 180 grain bullet may have exited, leaving a blood trail, but I don't believe it would have put the dog down any faster. I'm afraid a deer would travel much farther and might not be recovered, especially with no blood trail. [/QUOTE]
