Who else likes recovering a bullet from downed game? I love getting a bullet back. I'll try and post pictures of the few I've recovered. Lets see what you got.

I pulled a .257 Weatherby bullet out of a doe in Oklahoma last week. 100yrd shot, I was really surprised it did not pass through. It was quartering away and I hit a bunch of ribs and shoulder and it was lodged under the skin on the opposite side. Fell out as I was skinning it. Will try to remember to take a pic tonight.

It's always kind of interesting to see how a bullet performs on things. I predator hunt a lot so I try and use bullets that stay inside of things so I don't ruin pelts. The thing about that is it's mostly fragments I find if anything at all. I do have a Hog Hammer bullet out of a Blackout that I recovered from about a 150 pound sow.
I thought about getting a small drill bit and drilling a hole through it so I can fit a chain through it for a necklace. But that might be a little morbid and I don't wear jewelry so I don't know.Last edited by okrattler; 11-28-2017, 08:57 AM.
