[QUOTE="del2les, post: 1779759, member: 9299"] A lot of calibers and cartridges kill, and after 50+ years of personal hunting in which I have killed deer numbering into the three figures and seen, dressed and heard about many hundreds more from family and close friends, we have seen/used 12ga slugs, 54/50 cal muzzle loaders, 45-70's, 444's 44mag rifles, 375's, varied 35's, 338mags and 338-06, and a host of smaller calibers including magnums all inflicting solid lung/heart hits, occasionally regardless of caliber, allow deer to run a distance before expiring. Small sample size or a single DRT kill for caliber/cartridge is statistically insignificant, as so many on here will attest. Personally, I have lung shot a couple of whitetail with my 338WM, and they ran 50 yards or so before falling, and then I have body shot a few deer with a 223 that dropped instantly. YMMV [/QUOTE]
