[QUOTE="SteveBurton, post: 2918317, member: 59541"] The Hornady 143 Precision Hunter is good ammunition and thousands of animals have been taken with it. The fact that you 'believe' you got a good shot, but never recovered the animal, does not mean the ammo is bad. You also stated that you shot 4 other deer with it and recovered them. Sometimes the devil thinks it's funny to screw up a gimmie. I've shot deer where their insides were jell-o and they still ran 100 yards. Other shots have penciled through but the deer are DRT. With that being said, there are dozens of options for the 6.5CM in factory ammo and people to either back up how well it performs or how horrible it is. I would use whatever gives you the best accuracy and precision out of your rifle. That will give you the confidence to take neck or head shots to save meat. [/QUOTE]
