The bullet expanded, fragmented (losing over 40gr of weight with fragments going through lungs and aorta filling chest cavity with blood in seconds), and the deer dropped in her tracks. Recently I shot a deer with my 300BLK upper using 220 gr Outlaw State Bullets handloaded at home.I DID hit an upper lung/spine shot. With the bullet yawing in the chest cavity, I'm sure the desired result was achieved a little easier, but the doe I shot last year with a bow.she ran about the same distance with a shot through the heart. IMO, the bullet "acting like an arrow" is the result of it not expanding. Wouldn't shots resulting in DRT be reliant upon how much energy is transferred from the bullet to the deer. As with all hunting.shot placement is key. I have been hunting since I was a small child, and I have killed lots of animals with subsonic ammunition before, but thought I would share this with the world so put the myth to rest.

This is the exit side of the lungshot note the black areas, as the bullet was undoubtably sideways at this point and creating a nice wound channel. This is the entrance side of the lungshot This is the exit wound from the inside note the oblong shape This is the side the round exited, which appeared to indicate the bullet exited sideways from the animal. The deer stood in that spot for about 10 seconds. Note the blood around where the deer fell. The bullet impact into the deer was louder than the suppressed gunshot, I could clearly hear the impact and the bullet exiting and whizzing into a tree on the far side of the deer. This was a standard lung shot, nothing fancy. The upper is a AAC 9" barreled coupled with the AAC 7.62SDN-6.

There is a 112 grain bullet made by Atomic and several other companies. While a 55 gr bullet may do the job under optimal conditions it is recommended that you start in the mid 60s on grain weight with optimal being the variants offered in 75 gr and 77 gr.
