[QUOTE="Don Ward, post: 452832, member: 19118"] We use the 243 with the 105gr VLD ALOT for deer and antelope. I can't say it makes great blood trails, but we don't pay attention on most shots because the animal is either laying in the same 4 tracks he was standing in when we shot, or within a couple dozen yards. As stated earlier in this thread, almost any caliber and bullet can result in not seeing much leakage with certain types of hits. I can't say that blood trail quality is ever something I think about when rating a bullets performance, but we hunt fairly open country most of the time. I am looking for extremely quick death with a proper hit and as much damage as possible when poor placement happens. I do bowhunt a bunch where of course bloodtrailing makes or breaks recoveries.
