[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 2518968, member: 27307"] I would have suspected that after 25-30 years of reporting the same results about blood shot meat, he might have taken the hint to change something.;) I'm a meat hunter so losing 25% of a harvested deer would make me a little aggravated and start me looking for a solution. Velocity and frangible bullets will often result in meat loss from being blood shot. Velocity can be controlled by switching to a slightly sturdier bullet which will resist the aspect of being frangible. You can also try another series of tests to reduce the velocity. Using the shoulder as a target when hunting will generally guarantee meat loss. Charging Buffalo, yes. Domestic deer, no way! I can't stress this enough, [B]properly constructed bullets[/B] in the right velocity range will solve his problem. I have used the Nosler Partition bullets in the .25-06 and the AI version for decades with great results. Currently though, I can suggest using one of the excellent Hammer bullets to solve his dilemma. Yes, you'll have to work out a new load but switching powders or other bullet styles require the same process. Enjoy! :) [/QUOTE]
