Hit just about the heat all the deer I have shot with them have dropped on the spot of course part of the reason for that is where they are hit. There Is no bullet that will turn a poor hit into a good one.
For bigger animals I would use the 300 gr or a Lehigh bullet in the 275 gr and up range but the 250 Deep Curl is a very nice balance to deer and Boar. I normally have a very nice exit hole so I really don't know what more you could ask of a bullet.
so Lee have you hot the .250 gr gold dot at deer out to 200 yds with good results and accuracy?or is it your feeling the 300 is better..thanks Ray
