I agree, but I like to have an entrance, AND an exit hole. Without the exit hole, if my doe would not have dropped in her tracks, I might have had a very small blood trail, because the entrance hole was hight. But then on the other hand, it is nice to recoveer the bullet.
this is why when we hunted with crews driving deer with our flintlocks, we only used the 370 MAXI-BALL IN .50CAL HAWKINS.
your shots were quick and times you did not get best shot on buck .
those MAXI-BALLS are about best bullet for that type of hunting.
it will break bones and come out the other side.
now, i dont hunt that way, i sit and walk now by myself so i get broadside shots at deer that are not excited.
so, i like powerbellt 295/348 for this type of hunting.
