[QUOTE="Russ Hatch, post: 433037, member: 12444"] I can only go by what I have observed.. Thirty five years of hunting with a friend who shoots a Savage 99 in 308 using 180 grain winchester factory Power point S.P. and myself shooting a Ruger 77 in 7mm Mauser using Federal factory 175 round nose until Federal quit making them and I used the last I had . I switched to reloads with Hornady 162 gr A-max. We have both killed Whitetails from 20 yds to 400 yds over the years. Neither of us has lost one yet. As far as I could tell none of the deer could tell the difference which of us shot them. Dead is dead, no matter the bullet diameter. I still think it comes down to bullet placement and construction.
