[QUOTE="gusd, post: 1734808, member: 90071"] I have killed around 100 whitetail deer and have seen almost that many shot by others, we have used many different gun ammo combos. My gun ammo combo of choice for many years was a .338 Win mag 200 grain win silver tips. For deer just about anything will work if proper shot placement is used according to caliber choice.I have also used and seen a 22-250 with 45 grain varmint bullets take down yearlings-to a 160" buck with no problem, and a 30-30 with 170 grain bullets do the same I would say from my experience lighter faster works better. Also I will say whitetail have the most will to live out of any other big game animal I have killed.[Elk, Caribou, Mule deer, Antelope, Black bear, Wild hog ] so getting them to DRT is not common unless you head /neck or pin their front shoulder.
