Before I moved out of my parents house I used 308 winchester supreme 168 grain cxp2 Ballistic silvertips I love them awesome deer bullet I had taken approximately a 175 yard quartering shot at a deer with one the bullet hit the left rear leg went all the way through its thigh and exited then re-entered just behind its left shoulder took out a lung and the heart and exited out where its neck and chest meet. that deer dropped like a rock. When I moved out of my parents and didnt have that much extra money to spend 25 dollars on a box of shells. I started using 150 grain remington express core lokts and killed deer with them just as good as I did with the ballistic silvertips with both bullets I have never had to put more then one bullet in a deer. except for a doe I necked the with a core lokt hit it in the neck the bullet exited in a downward direction then spined it and exited out of its left side didnt hit any vitals but it had a broken neck and its spine was split just behind the shoulders I watched it from my stand waiting about 15 minutes for it stop twitching it never did so I got down and shot it in the head from about 10 feet i'll never do that again I got spattered in the face with bits of skull and blood but I felt something needed to be done my knife was in the truck and I wasnt about to wait and watch it suffer with the wounds it had it could have taken hours before it died. Nowadays I enjoy the multiple options that reloading offers.
