[QUOTE="nwhunter, post: 2378075, member: 30991"] I have shot mule deer and blacktail deer with various 6.5s, 6.5x257, 6.5x55, 6.5x06, 264-win mag, range from 50-500 yards, all with various 140 grain loads and never recovered a single bullet over the past 56 years. I think most were probably old style Speer. But as several have mentioned, Hammer bullets would surely fully penetrate a whitetail deer. The deer I killed this year was with a 186 grain hammer from a 338/06. My only complaint would be very little blood on exit side, the exit hole looked like it had been shot with a 338 wadcutter. But it dropped dead where it was shot. [/QUOTE]
