Hello from Scotland~
I have just read an interesting article by Ralph T.Walker entitled "one mans opinion"
One mans search for the ultimate White tail bullet for the .30-06, Mr Walker says that the often recommended 150/165gn sp bullets are lacking. His point being that they exit from the perfect heart shot and while they posses plenty of energy, most sails out into the woods !
While such a shot is "fatal" often the result is a run before the deer drops which can be a real pain when shots frequently present themselves in fading light.
Mr Walkers search was for a bullet that dumped all or most its energy into the deer thus resulting in a drop to the shot. His search lead him to try the Speer 130 gn HP, he found it would completely break up within the body cavity with out exiting.The result was devastating ..............
But of course thats only one mans opinion whats yours.....................
Mr Walker raises some interesting points in his artilce and offers a rather unconventional solution.
