[QUOTE="blackco, post: 178110, member: 7356"] This goes right along with what I have seen and ?studied? about deer and bullets for quite a few years now. I grew up not understanding magazine articles about tracking rifle shot deer; I never had to do it using a 243. I got tired of hearing stuff like, "180gr (insert premium bullet here) in my -06 is a great deer round, no meat damage and the deer only runs about 100 yards!" A DEER SHOULDN'T RUN 100YDS AFTER GETTING HIT WITH AN -06!!!! I have 4 kids and several friends I hunt with and after seeing quite a few deer shot with a variety of different guns and bullets (Montana is pretty liberal with tags) I believe a deer is about like a big varmint and should be shot with big varmint bullets; like the A-Max. Don't read this to mean disrespect for deer, but a deer is only about 14" wide and that's not a lot of time for expantion. Like varmint shooter said, a V-Max for big game...that's about perfect for deer IMO. [/QUOTE]
