RE: Caliber and bullet choice for Deer. Why so heavy?
"I shot my buck this fall ( 225lb ) with a 225 Partition out of a .350 rem mag and with one shot behind the shoulder he collapsed in his tracks stone dead'
I dont think 225grn bullet is heavy for a 35 caliber. I mainly saying a heavy bullet within that caliber compared to the lighter bullets in the same caliber.
I think the big bores are awesome for deer, I think the lower end wieght for each caliber is the way to go though.
