[QUOTE="gusd, post: 1168117, member: 90071"] First I will start by saying I have been whitetail hunting in wisconsin for 24years have killed at least 50+ with my gun 20+ with my bow and go out west almost every year and have killed muley's, elk and antelope. I feel I have a bit of experience hunting especially whitetail. I have killed them with a 30/30 a .270 win 22-250 .338 lapua but most have been shot with my .338 win mag. with some sort of BT type bullet [like Win.ballistic silver tips Hornady SST] So heres my opinion ANY bullet works for whitetail with proper shot placement. I prefer some sort of BT bullet. I don't know what some of the other posters here are using or where they are placing their shots but I have never had the BANG FLOP or DRT that some guys have said. UNLESS Head shot or I hit them high and took out the spine or shot them in the front shoulder so they can't run anymore. I use this shot quite a bit on public land.Don't want my deer running over to next guy so he can tag it. I guess my point is I have never dropped any deer in its tracks with the ideal heart lung shot EVER !! The closest I have ever come to doing that is with my 22-250 45 grain HP varmint bullet at 180 yards it scrambled everything into little chunks but that deer still ran away, and that is not an ideal deer bullet! I shot a small doe last year at 100 yards with 250 BTHP out of my .338 lapua it was facing me so I shot it straight on bullet scrabbled the lungs and took the top of the heart off and that deer still ran 75 yards. Like I said before just about anything will work. Think about it Wisconsin had around 600,000 guys in the woods this past year and a lot of deer died I can guarantee you a majority of the guys just went to the store and bought a box of shells. Which were probably one of 2 things either the cheapest or the coolest looking:D [/QUOTE]
