[QUOTE="kbrent1223, post: 2011460, member: 115814"] About 5 yrs back I’d worked up a nice load with 210 vld for my 308. Shot a whitetail buck at about 175 ( I routinely shoot out to 500, as I live on a farm and can practice frequently). I heard bullet, and saw deer react. He bolted. Waited a bit and walked down to where I’d shot him. Found a very minute blood trail for bout 20 yards ( very small drops ) then it disappeared. I felt terrible. Scoured the area for few hours never found him. Chalked it up to “crap happens”. Few days later I was in same stand Another buck in dang near the same spot. Heard bullet hit, deer reacted, bolted. Walked down. Same thing. Two drops of blood. That was it. Scoured area. Found him piled up about 80 yards into the woods. Shot was dead on. Small exit wound. While dragging him out I jump some vultures. Found the first deer from few days earlier. Look like coyotes had drug him out from somewhere. Shot on him was dead on. Still using Berger’s but I’m a bit concerned by that result. Tend to lean toward eld-x more now. [/QUOTE]
