[QUOTE="06nut, post: 2419109, member: 121897"] I have been very lucky in that I can’t remember the last time I had to track anything I have shot. Most shots in the past few years have been pass through as I think my loads are better with better bullets and I have become better at being patient and ensuring that my shot is optimum (broadsideish). I remember my days shooting core locks and power points when tracking was a part of the hunt and remember my first season using Winchesters 270 Failsafes... was like a lightening bolt hit them and in most memories the bullet, regardless of the angle, stopped just under the off side. I do feel that pass through shots produce better blood trails. Personally, I stick to the theory of the heaviest bullet I can shoot accurately and don’t stretch my limit... have had amazing results with my 06’s with 180 to 210 ELD style bullets running in the 2600 to 2800 sweet spot. My biggest concern is my inability to go to the store to get milk and bring another rifle home... most of the time forgetting to pick up the milk! 😎 [/QUOTE]
