    Another Texas hunting story

    Got two more hogs Fri night with a Marlin lever in 35 Rem . Wife showed up for the Sat hunt , we saw nothing good . We split up for Sun morning . I heard her shot . She got a nice 8 pt whitetail with her bolt rifle in 6mm Rem . Ballistic report . I went to a lighter bullet at high velocity for this hunt . 80 Rem corelokt at 3460 fps . At 130 yards it worked perfect . It hit just back of the shoulder , no blood , almost no hole . The deer just dropped . The bullet had made a pinhole going in but when it hit the ribs it just blew up . A fist size hole through 5 ribs and it turned the lungs to jelly . But it did not hit the other side . Instant drop and no meat loss . So speed does kill . Still no deer for me though .
