[QUOTE="David Lindler, post: 1734949, member: 106144"] Deer sized game are thin skined. Lighter and faster with a good bullet will dump more energy into the animal causing more tissue damage and hydrostatic shock/ kenetic energy. If you look a the laws of physics, speed is what kills.. Heavy for caliber bullets are better for long range because they retain more energy at longer range than lighter bullets. A lot of the 180 grain and up weight bullets don't expand as violently on thin skinned game especially at longer ranges. Check out cutting edge bullets and look at their raptor line of bullets. High speed and massive tissue damage and energy dump. [/QUOTE]
