[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 577029, member: 2736"] +1 There is no reason to load a full house load for dear sized game. If you lower the velocity to a reasonable amount that will still achieve bullet expansion at impact it will reduce tissue damage and recoil. I find that most bullets perform well in the 2900 ft/sec to 3100 ft/sec range (Muzzle velocity) on deer size game no matter what their weight,and often load down for better results. I have killed dear with 416s, 458s and other large bores and found that tissue damage was minimal because of velocity and knock down was unbelievable because of the size/dia. of the bullet. So if you dont want excessive tissue damage ,slow the bullet down unless you will be making extremely long shots.(This is where velocity has its benefits). Just my opinion. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
