[QUOTE="3sixbits, post: 68039, member: 3661"] Deer Size, heard the term once or twice before? I wonder about the people that use the term. Does that mean the southwest's Coues white tail the Roosevelt elk the Yukon's moose, the blacktail or the mule deer, the eastern white tail from 60pds to a 1,000 pds. what does it mean. Is there any that have not been taken with a .22lr.? And should I knowing that, use a lite weight bullet for all. I use one bullet only in the 30-06 and that is the 180 gr. Why because it works for all the deer size game. I use only the 270grain in my .375H&H's why, because it works on everything I might have or want to shoot and the drop is the same for any of the yardage I will see game at. KISS, ever heard the term keep it simple stupid? I pick the twist for the bullet length I will use, I shoot a 1 in 12 for the 30-06 as the length and velocity indicates by the Greenhill formula. I have found that the 180 grain bullets I prefer do not do well for the .308WIN at the ranges I have killed deer size game. That is why I don't use the .308WIN that is not saying it won't work, hey we know people kill deer size game with the .22lr! But it's not my go to first choice. [/QUOTE]
