Default RE: Bullets for deer

We havetalked aboutbullets on this forum for a very long time andmany of us do not agree on bullets. The bullets that have worked so well for me do not seem to work for some others. The250 grain SST/Shockwave has worked very well for me. With one exception, nothing ihit with onewentover 20 yards: That deer was hit very low in the shoulders, call it upper legs, and it went about 50 yards before i shot it again.There is absolutelyNO substitute forproper shot placement.

Hogs are much harder to kill than deer and shot placement is much more important. i have killed over75 hogs with the .430 240 grain XTP and 250 grain SST bullets. No hog ever went more than 20 yards after being hit.
