[QUOTE="bigcountryok, post: 866454, member: 4368"] There is no guranteed way to "drop deer in their tracks". Core-Loks work well but are soft and tend to seperate if they hit heavy bone. They will get the job done though. Nosler and Barnes are both great bullets. I would warn against Hornady SST. I have seen too many of these fail to get full penetration and fail to leave a good blood trail. If you want to "drop deer in their tracks" your best bet is to shoot for mid to upper shoulder and hit the scapula. There's a large bundle of nerves and blood vessels there. Either way, always expect a deer to run after being shot. Know your rifle well, make a good shot, and just about any 30cal softnose bullet will do the job. Good luck!! [/QUOTE]
