[QUOTE="emp1953, post: 1756475, member: 71817"] I've been hunting with an outfitter for 20 years. For our week in the woods, 15 hunters, we'll get 30 to 45 deer. Every year there is at least one deer where all the guys will say "how did that deer run that far with damage like that". When they brought them back to the lodge to butcher there was no blood left to drip out. All of these animals are all different. If you could stage the same exact shot, bullet placement, caliber on 12 different animals, the likelihood of seeing 12 different reactions is very probably. Conversely we see a lot of animals where there is a pencil sized entry and a pencil sized exit and the animal drops on the spot. Open it up and you wonder why. We see the best results for that week with Barnes TSX, Nosler ABLR and Partitions, one guy has been using Hammers effectively in a good ole .308 (we never have to look for his downed deer), none of these are used in magnum calibers. I think those super-duper velocities changes things on the animal, not always for the better. Just my 2-cents. [/QUOTE]
