[QUOTE="BigNate, post: 2248223, member: 301"] This is very relevant. Neither of the mentioned cartridges are inadequate for Axis deer. In fact by many standards they are overkill. Shooting them in the shoulder, with several rounds makes me wonder what ammo was in use. How much damage was there? How did the bullets perform? Picking the bullet is way more important than what it comes out of. If you are going to shoot shoulders, use a bullet designed to penetrate, if you shoot lungs, go with a soft bullet that will come apart easily. There are better bullets available now than ever before, many giving both expansion and penetration. We could sure use more information, and in this case I don't think going bigger is the answer.
