[QUOTE="teflonhunter, post: 1305975, member: 35475"] For 30 years I've killed tons of deer in the timber with a 30/06 and never lost one ,never did.Mostly took behind the shoulders shots to limit meat loss. I've never seen one flipped over or anything from the kinetic energy of the cartridge. Average "run" after the shot was probably 30-35 yds. Been hunting with 444 Marlin lever action last couple seasons and seems like the average run has shortened, still to early to tell. Energy level between these to cartridges is near about the same for average distance I shoot. I know some physics say different but to me there is something about a big bore cartridge with a heavy bullet that stacks the odds in your favor. I have shot some coyotes with the 30/06 that seemed to be flipped over when shot , even "pushed" from the impact. [/QUOTE]
