[QUOTE="SteveBurton, post: 2972329, member: 59541"] Use a shotgun with slugs if you are worried about meat loss. They will just punch a big hole and the animal will eventually bleed out. Seriously, there are so many different variables and situations that you can't just pick an optimal bullet for minimal meat loss. Bullet design/construction, speed, distance, animal position POI, etc. Put any bullet through the pump room without hitting any bone, zero meat loss. Then people complain that the animal didn't immediately drop and they had to track it. Put any bullet through both shoulders, the animal drops but lots of bloodshot meat. Suggest a head shot? Time to grab your popcorn. 🍿 Choose a bullet that works the best in your rifle and go hunting. Potential meat loss is just part of the game. [/QUOTE]
