Hey guys,
I've been hunting for 10+ years and have harvested many whitetail and never lost one...until yesterday
I got my buck in archery along with two does and an additional bonus buck. Following archery I went out in firearm season with my muzzle-loader hoping to get one more medium sized doe for sweet sticks.
Anyway...long story short I shot the perfect size doe at about 60 yards with a .45 Hornady sst with plastic sleeve. Shot was high but got good blood on both sides for 300 yards. (waited 2 hours after the shot because I knew it was a bit high) Blood stopped and no deer. I switched to the Hornady from .50 Powerbuilt in the off-season because I was getting better groups at the range. Now I feel like the slug never expanded and caused me to lose the deer.
Any thoughts on these Hornady slugs? I am switching back to the Powerbuilt as of now.
