[QUOTE="branwill25, post: 853930, member: 41778"] Lloyd, First off, let me say that I am envious that you kill so many deer. I love hunting and have only loaded my own ammo for the last 4.5 years. In that time I have honestly killed more critters with a bow than I have with a rifle. I have been fortunate enough to see my daughter kill a deer every year for the last three years. She shoots a 243 loaded with a 85 grain TSX over 45 grains of RL19. I am proud to say I loaded those and in my very limited experience the barnes bullets have been phenomenal. All three shots have been very decisive with all three deer falling to the ground instantly on impact. Last year I squoze off a kill shot on a 3 by 3 mule deer buck at 750 yards with my custom 260 shooting a berger 140 VLD bullet. He took a couple steps and went down with very little meat damage other than the ribs on the offside were very blood shot. Everybody has their preferences on bullets for whatever reason and will do what they do regardless of what anyone else thinks because it works for them. I personally love reading all the posts on a subject like this because it is entertaining and good information because like I said, I love to hunt and harvest animals, but being the worlds worst hunter I have only harvested 8 deer, one elk, and one antelope in my life. This year should change all that because my daughter and I drew on antelope in a very good unit here in Idaho. I can't wait for the season to start next Wednesday. Anyway, sorry to be so long winded but I had a lot to say :) Take care and keep piling them up. I will live vicariously through your work. Take care. Brandon [/QUOTE]
