I defending anybody or thing but fact is I am not sure of that. I know I have made that shot with a 260 grain Nolser and Last week with a 200 grain Lehigh and believe there was not lack of blood in either case.

I still have 2 doe tags left and will fill those the week after Christmas with the same Deep Curls. Hopefully I'll make better shots on those
EDIT: I think one reason people vary so much on their opinions of bullets derives from the fact that rarely do two deer act the same after being shot.

He could test bullets to see about accuracy, wound channels, knock down power, etc. And at the same time have fun hunting hogs. And getting rid of the critters from what I read.
This year a young friend shot a 7 by 7 bull elk using one of the Harvester 280 grain .430 hard cast bullets that i gave him. That bullet did exit but did not expand. That flat nose bullet did something to tear the elks lungs to shreds.
Way back when i killed a lot of whitetail deer using military ball ammo: i never noticed any difference in effectiveness when compared with Winchester Silvertips or Remington Core Lokt bullets.

One ran about 40 yards, the other about 50 or so. Neither bled much (just sprinkles about the size of #4 shot) between the shot and where they piled up.

My next wild hog will be shot using the Barnes 225 grain .429 bullet and my old CVA StagHorn.
