RE: Rifle Bullets for the Hunter A Definitive Study
There's really not much said that you quoted that most experienced hunters don't know...The biggest problem I see is everyone wants to buy the latest gadget and think it will help them fill their tag...I have killed 30 or so deer with a .530 ball and 80 grains Goex, they die just as quickly when shot through the lungs as one hit with a .270...
Something else that some deer hunters can't understand...Hit a deer in the lungs with a 7mm Mag bullet that is designed for elk and he will run farther than that same deer hit with a .243 100gr bullet...Simply because most of the energy of the 7mm Mag ends up in the dirt on the other side of the deer,but most of the energy from the .243 is expended in the deer...
