RE: YOUNG HUNTERS USING 243 OR 270
I shot 7 deer with my .270 and only 1 went more than a couple steps.It had to get up to do that.Maybe I found a sweet load.130 gr ppsp winchesters.It was hard on meat though.
The 7mm-08 will not put them down that quick but the easiest blood trails I have ever seen,of course you can usually see them fall.
