[QUOTE="p7m8hk, post: 3051832, member: 127746"] I have been told many times over the years that the 140gr A-Max bullets (old red tip) were match/target bullets and should never be hunted with….I have loaded them in several different .264/6.5 calibers for me, my two sons, and several buddies and apparently no one informed the deer and several other species. The load that I developed for deer dumps ASL of energy on said ”target”. IMHO you don’t need a blood trail if they don’t walk/run off. It must be some kind of fast acting sleeping med or something as they are appear to be taking A dirt nap. No memories like my 6yo boy taking his 1st WT with one perfectly placed shot at 276 yards all by him self off the tree stand handrail… “Dad, I think it’s going to get up”… buddy it was DRT it was just rolling/sliding down a fairly steep ditch bank. That was the same load we use today, almost 14 years ago. [/QUOTE]
