RE: Bullet weight and energy per pound of animal
I read the artical. That guy must be the worst shot in forty states. I have taken lots of deer with all the calibers and bullets that he has trouble with. Never had to track one yet. And about the people who couldn't drop the pronghorns with the 300 and 7mm Mags?? His hunting skill speaks volumes here. It sounds to me like if he kills a deer with anything, it pure luck. He may like his 243 and shooting varmit bullets for deer in the other rifles but his findings are pure bunk because I have used the 270, 7MM, 6.5x55, 260 and many others including the 30-30 without wounding deer. He should take up tiddlie-winks.
All of the rifles in the article would have the ft lbs and bullet weight per lb of body weight that should be requred in Big Bulls figures.
