[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 1689208, member: 109862"] I 100 percent agree with that philosophy. There’s no wasted meat that’s as tragic as a lost animal. I don’t subscribe to any terminal ballistic gospel (ie some are adamant that you NEED high weight retention, or that if there’s no exit wound the bullet “failed”, or conversely that if the bullet exits it wasted energy, etc...). What counts is actual results. I’ve lost one deer in my life and as best as I can tell it was because the bullet didn’t open much (it was a soft point too!) and there was a big blood trail that went on for a mile and ended at the river. I’ve eaten many deer in which the bullet “failed” and blew up or didn’t exit or ruined a shoulder. I ate them because they all died in under a minute. This thread is about the 243 which I don’t have much hunting experience with, reason being that the 270 with interlocks has long been my go to. [/QUOTE]
