[QUOTE="Rich Coyle, post: 1341174, member: 70559"] Since I tried a .223 on deer clear up to a wildcat .375 I have not seen a faster drop at the shot than with the .223 firing Nosler 60 grain solid base. I used a .308 Win one year and killed a doe and a buck. The doe was bedded and fell over. The buck turned and ran TOWARD me since it did not know I was there. After traveling about twenty-five yards it dropped. When I was using a 7-.300 Weatherby firing Nosler 175 Partitions at 3,150 feet per second I had the second largest deer body wise run about a quarter mile after being hit right above the heart. Others dropped at the shot. My fastest elk died from a Barnes TSX 130 at 3,330 feet per second with a frontal chest shot. It died faster than one hit through the shoulders with a .375 firing a Nosler 260 grain Partition right at 3,000 feet per second. All these were good hits. Maybe bigger is better if you hit broadside right behind the diaphragm. [/QUOTE]
