[QUOTE="5.56×250, post: 1735660, member: 110162"] Only magic whitetail drt caliber I've used is the 270win with 130 coreloks or ballistic tips. I cant count how many I drt on double lung shots ! The easy number to remember is all of them. I like the compact nature of the 308 and killed many whitetails with that caliber. Only drt was a huge doe I field judged wrong by 100 yds :oops:. I shot her for 300ish and laid the crosshairs right on the horizontal of her back, touched it off, and saw legs pointing up as the fire flash filled my scope. That 18 inch barrel was a flame thrower in last light shots ! She was 220yds and I spined her right behind the shoulder spine juncture. She never wiggled that I could tell. Every other 308 shot deer ran 20 to 75 yards. 270 though ? DRT! [/QUOTE]
