Anyway, with my 225 gr handloads I always get a nice exit hole & the deer rarely go more than 30 yards after their hit. Since my Whelen is slower than their wizz magnums, I don't get near as much bloodshot meat either.
WOw I am surprised they go anywhere after being wacked by that. I think it is a fine selection for deer and certainly guys pack potent 300 and 7 mags to camps every year not to mention 45/70's and 444's. Good choice I think and If I had one of them it would probably go along as well.
