[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2898546, member: 109862"] I’m not partial to any one bullet design or mode of incapacitation. They all have pros and cons. What’s worked great on whitetail has been frangible (and here we simply mean a bullet that comes apart and causes violent wounding via fragmentation) bullets THAT STILL EXIT. The 225 grain eld match out of my .300 win is overkill for sure but it beats the alternative and it puts them down either right there or within 30 yards of running depending on shot placement. Massive damage. The 225 has a bigger tip and thus bigger hollow point below than the 208. It opens up immediately but still has enough sheer mass that even on shoulder or spine hits it exited, and very dramatically. I find it very hard to beat it. That being said I wouldn’t opt to take a quartering shot, especially at close range, on critters larger than deer. For that kind of thing the federal trophy bonded tip and terminal ascent bullets get the nod. [/QUOTE]
