I took my son out for his first deer hunt and I put a Savage .243 in his hands with reloads I worked out with Sierra 85 gr. HPBT. So this button buck walked out at between 60 and 80 yds. standing broadside he hit the deer just in front of the front legs both shoulder were shattered. I could have put my fist in the hole this bullet left. I have shot a few deer in my time and I have never seen damage like this from my other rifles. I have used ballistic tips and SP in my .270, 30-06, and 7mm with less than spectacular results.
