Another time, he said thatthey had shot another doe, and from the film replay, it was a good hit, butthe blood trailgave out after 2 miles or so! And they never were able to find a body!
I would never listen to the advice of someone who made this comment.
If you follow a 2
MILE bloodtrail then it would have prob bled out.
or
A good hit doesnt let a deer run 2 MILES.
For deer you dont need a bonded bullet. I personally think that a 130grn Nos Bt out of a 270 is the perfectwhitetail round.I have used them for years in my 270Win and WSM and have never had a deer run more then about 20 yards. Some folks like a bonded bullet so you get a pass thru and a blood trail. IMO when you watch the deer fall shortly after turning its organs to mush you dont need a blood trail.
I do however think more deer are killed with Rem coreloks then any other bullet and dont think you really need to pay the extra for BT's if you're buying factory rounds. The coreloks will do the job.
