Can I ask how you get a complete .510 caliber pass through and have NO blood trail? A double lung shot should be spewing out an awful lot of blood spray.
I swear.to.god.they won't bleed.with two .510 holes clean. Through.. The good shots.where they are 30 yards and dead no blood where they are laying. So even dead 50 yards broke the neck no blood...they are slow.and clean lol. I have recovered slugs..they look awesome just like Mr hollow points... I tell truth from experience... Sorry they kill but its a.way different animal...
.510 muzzloaders. wound a lot of.deer.with little to no blood.trails..black powder.. Same deal.as.us...same lead slugs of pure lead...black powder faster.than pcp.big bore...nothing.new under the.sun
That chart says for large deer, I'm assuming whitetail deer should be a minimum of 200 fpe. With a 2.5 inch kill zone. Wonder just exactly what they are aiming at? Head shots perhaps?
Not doubting you. I've seen deer shot with everything from 30-30's to 280's and if the shot is crappy there would be maybe a tiny bit of hair but no blood.
I think my slow 800 fps.to.860 fps is the problem... I'm sure your 44mag had a lol speed
.My big silly Texan is just a over sized 22 lr 
with more recoil lol I think I remember it being 240 grains and right around 970 FPE at the muzzle. But a lot of bang for the buckI think my slow 800 fps.to.860 fps is the problem... I'm sure your 44mag had a lol speed
I think about headshots but an inch or two off and you can blow its face off. Now you have a wounded deer that will die a slow death due to not being able to eat. If I was hunting for my survival I would do it but I would rather wait for a vitals shot.
I knew a guy who years back took a head shot on a deer and the deer moved it's head and he ended up shooting its bottom jaw off
He had to shoot it again. In my honest opinion it was a stupid shot to try and make. But to each his own. He claims he had shot quite a few deer in the head before. Guess that was just his off day.

I've been hunting whitetail for 46 years now, got a late start at 17 years old. I've killed near 200 hunting, and over 400 in just a couple years on depradation permits, 20 every time I went out, it's the number that fit in the small reefer I had access to in order to take them to the food bank . I will not hunt with anyone that thinks it is ok to take a head shot on a deer. Do the math on a PB doing 3000 fps at the muzzle, lock time, barrel time, and bullet flight time. 30 yards away and a head shot can get damn ugly with a head turn/bob that can happen at any time. It is wrong in my opinion with a 3000 fps pb, I have seen dozens of bad outcomes from idiots that think different. On pests/destructive animals around my home, I don't care, I'm just killing a problem animal and won't pass a shot that is safe to take. On animals I hunt, I take care and pass on shots regularly.I knew a guy who years back took a head shot on a deer and the deer moved it's head and he ended up shooting its bottom jaw off

There is significant area there with no spine if your shot is off a bit. I’m just not using a weapon that I’m relying on neck or head shots. If one in the heart lung area won’t do it I am using the wrong gun. At that point I will stick with my bow.The neck shot.is more.important than caliber and foot pounds!!!!!! Its not A gaurnteed deal with subsonic slugs unless you break the spine
You have a good point and I'm not worried about the heart and lung stopping the deer although most don't dropped in there tracks I hate having to trail them as its getting harder each year for me to get them out by myself, so far the neck shot has worked for me but there's always a first time.
Yeah tracking can be a pain. They never run towards the car or truck lol. The last deer I shot was with a compound bow. I was back in about 3/4 of a mile. Luckily I watched him expire so he didn’t go far but still had to drag him all that ways. It was my wife , step son and I. I thought I was dead when we got back to the truck. Anymore being I have long hikes to find them on state land, if it isn’t going up on the wall it is passed up. Haven’t shot one since that deer in 2017.
