[QUOTE="Mike 338, post: 1474666, member: 41338"] I've put a good broadside shot on a deer at about 70 yards with a 300 magnum and a 200 gr. bullet and it still ran a little. Had to give it another one. Seen deer roll 200 yards down a hill. Once saw a deer get hit and jump just once and landed 50 yards down the hill. Also once shot a deer that I couldn't even find the entrance/exit wound on from about 400 yards. I'm not sure I even hit it but it dropped in it's tracks like it was pole axed and didn't even twitch. DRT is more of a concept than a field reality. 200 fps, + or -, at those ranges will make little difference. If you have a load that shoots a decent bullet well, than that's the right load. Try to put it where it'll do some good. The rest is up to the animal. [/QUOTE]
