[QUOTE="snox801, post: 1183264, member: 54383"] I think you set the bar to high. Part of the reason deer run after a slug is the same issue with my .458 socom. It's a slower moving large projectile so the massive hydro shock is not as extensive. They will kill and drive through but don't have the speed to explode. They will kill anything just not how you see from rifles. I also almost always have them run except when shot in the base of the skull. Blood trails can just be tough sometimes. If you want a more explosive round that will shoot well try the hornady sst. They make a mess. I actually didn't like how bad they exploded at close range. They work great and still explode down range. Problem is they don't shoot well enough to go past 200 yards and had problems when hit the shoulder directly. So it's always a give and take. I just know the accutips always kills. Got this guy this year and he ran about 60 yards with decent blood but his insides where gone. [/QUOTE]
