[QUOTE="Albritton, post: 1580946, member: 108690"] I love my Ruger Ranch due to its compactness, accuracy, weight etc. if I reloaed I believe I would find the most expanding 250 gr bullet available that maintained the exceptional accuracy that the Hornady 250gr FTX Ammo delivers. I have had deer run quite a ways after perfect behind the shoulder double lung shots. All have been recovered but have had a few run 70 to 90 yards. Need a bullet that will transmit as much energy inside the body cavity as possible before exiting. Big heavy polymer tipped bullets like the FTX will blow right through a deer taking most of its energy with it instead of transferring that energy to the deers innards. I have gone to high shoulder shots with the 450 even on my meat does and that anchors em DRT but does waste some meat. Maybe a large cavity open hollow point would be a better choice. Let me know if you find a bullet that will transfers more energy when making double lung shots! [/QUOTE]
