[QUOTE="redsnow, post: 1034584, member: 14952"] Guys, I'm looking for a dependable bullet for West Virginia sized deer. Our deer will range in weight up to 160 pounds dressed, most will go around 130# or less. I'm shooting a M700 25-06 Remington. I've killed quite a few deer and 3 bear with my 25-06's, it's a good little gun. The problem is, sometimes (most times) the bullet will explode inside, and I don't get an exit wound. (I'd been shooting 90gr Sierra HPBT's, I know, light bullet for deer) No big deal if the animal drops, but I'm concerned that if I make a semi-bad shot, the animal will run, and I won't have a blood trail. A few years ago I shot a deer ridge-to-ridge, very steep downhill shot, the deer dropped, but if it would have ran, being shot high on it's back, I'd have nothing to trail. That bothers me. I hunt with the gun, walking, still hunting and most shots will be 200 yards or less. What I'm looking for is a bullet that will open up quick, and drive on through. Any suggestions? [/QUOTE]
