The 7mm is an excellent choice for hunting as mentioned but in all the years of hunting deer,
I have never had a deer drop in it’s track with the exception of only once. I had hit the deer and broke it’s back. Other then that the deers have always gone a little ways. I know that bullet placements is important and hitting the shoulders will drop the deer, but the meat is #1 in my books so I will always go for a lung shot.

Red, I was thinking of using xbullets but I’m concern for deer hunting, that the bullet will not expand enough, especially if I go for the lungs. Have you had any experience with lung shots with the xbullet ?
