RE: Good long-range deer calibers.
I can't argue that bullet placement is the most important factor. My point was that if you have 2 shots in the same place you will get more damage to meat with a 140gr bullet travelling 3000fps plus, than you would with the same weight bullet going 2500fps. I once shot a deer at 200 yards with a 80gr bullet out of a 250 savage, just behind shoulder. I didn't get any meat from the whole front end of that deer.
