I guess I should ask if you folks have found a particular caliber or caliber and bullet combo that's had a higher percentage of DRT performance on deer.
In response to the last question about what types of bullets I've been using..... With the .270 Win. I've mostly used 130gr. CorLoct's.
With the 06', mostly used 165gr. Hornady Interlocks
with the 7mm. Rem. Mag., mostly 150gr. Federal Fusion ammo.

Do any of you folks feel that velocity has a determining factor in terminal performance on deer sized game. It hasn't always been the case, but it seems like a medium to tough constructed bullet that's light for caliber therefore faster has done well.
Kinda got me started thinking about using Accubonds or Barnes TSX bullets (even though I know premium bullets aren't NEEDED to take deer sized game)
any thoughts?
