I have also tracked other deer that was used by a .308, a 25-06 a 30-06, and a 6mm, There was no difference there also, on average 40-60 yds. On rare occasions deer hit in the heart seem to have sprinted the farthest, 100 yds or so.
then you get some wierd incidents, last year a buddy hit a doe with a .308 and found very little blood for about 60 yds and then it looked like it was painted on the ground, she ran close to 200 yds and her internals were totally destroyed., perfec shot, adequate caliber and great bullet, but still ran far.
