[QUOTE="Swiftkill, post: 1735661, member: 104167"] Because SPEED kills! On light skin game a bullet that blows up inside the animal delivers hydrostatic damage to a lot of organs. One of the most devastating rounds i ever shot are the Remington 243 80 gr corelokt and soft point. Hollow points for cx woodchucks, soft point on deer. BIGGER is for large animals that need penetration and mass to get to organs. Killing a buffalo requires getting to organs and you may have a slow death but death nonetheless. A Deer's organs are close to their skin, relatively. Not much resistance if you dont hit the shoulder. You want a rapidly expanding bullet. 243. I shot my very first deer with a 300 win mag. A 100 yd running shot, right through the heart. The bullet didnt barely open. Almost the same size hole coming out as going in. Good thing i took the heart out. I killed a big deer with my 220 Swift 40 gr. Nosler ballistic tip. Broadside, 1 shot, drooped in its tracks. Speed kills! [/QUOTE]
