Way to go!!! congratulations on the deer.
Also it sounds like you found the right load with those XTP's and 80 grains of powder. It sounds like you have a real good shooting rig there.
Did it blow through the deer with 80 grains? And how much damage did the bullet do internally? Only made 20 yards after being hit, you must have put that bullet just in about the perfect spot..
Again, congratulations!!

WOW.. you got excellent expansion out of the bullet. Just what it was supposed to do... I bet that did make a nice path through the deer. No wonder it never made much distance. Did that hit a rib going in too?
