Agreed, 115 is a decent poke with a smokepole and irons.
Took the shotgun for a walk today.
Thanks guys. I brought my son out there to pace it off. I had him stand where the buck was to show my wife. "I guess all that shooting paid off."
Springfield TRP 10mm
40 yds off-hand from a ground blind
Fiocchi 180 gr JHP (bullet recovered under the skin (that bulge just above the pistol) on the offside.
(ETA) While I was washing the recovered bullet, the jacket separated from the core.

The path of least resistance will seldom get you where you need to be.
I was able to connect on this buck this morning.
Nice buck! How was shot placement on the entrance wound side and how far did the buck travel after hit? Just curious.Springfield TRP 10mm

Thank you
He was slightly uphill and quartering ever so slightly towards me. Impact was a high shoulder shot with the bullet striking the trailing edge of the scapula and nicking the lower spine. He went down like a lightening strike and I was confident the shot was "fatal", but I felt compelled to put a finishing shot (neck/spine) in him shortly thereafter as his demise was taking a little longer than I prefer.
