[QUOTE="memtb, post: 2732780, member: 75451"] Agreed, smaller caliber bullets at fairly high velocities can make very adequate wound channels In smaller big game. But, same said bullets may not be as impressive on a large bodied Whitetail, if a less than impressive shot were made. I’m a faithful believer in Murphy‘s law, so if I were using a smallish caliber on a deer…..I would opt for a premium bullet, though it rarely would be needed! However, if only “needed” once…..it is a worthwhile investment! Meanwhile…..we’ll continue to poke big holes in small game! 😉 Oh, thanks for the compliment on the wife’s “sped goat”! If I had been faster getting out of the truck, it might have been my best goat…..or, I might have missed! 😁 memtb [/QUOTE]
