Figured I'd stick this here since I didn't put up a photo of the whole deer in the lead-free bullet thread. Rifle was my Mossberg MVP Varmint 24" 5.56 x 45mm, range was 95 yards off my shooting bench, NOE 22-67 FN MX3 @ 58 grains with 88/12/.75 Bismuth/tin/antimony alloy, LBT soft blue lube, 15 grains of RX-7. Front heart shot, flop, stumble ten yards and dead. I'm guessing about 80 lbs on the hoof. His two, much larger six-point cohorts that have been hanging around my property this year are now safe from me. I wanted a little venison this year but also like having the better deer around to improve our meager local herd and didn't want to harvest the better bucks. Then this guy showed up at the wrong end of a bullet testing session.
