[QUOTE="300WSM, post: 1312410, member: 6329"] I have killed deer with a 300wsm, 300winmag, and 7mm remington mag. I like the 150 or 165 grain nosler ballistic tips out of the 30 calibers. It seems the bonded bullets or barnes or fusion bullets just poke nice clean holes and dont leave a good blood trail. If the shot is good it doesnt matter because the deer doesnt go far. I shot an elk with the 300wsm 180grain fusion at about 225 yards and it just poked a clean hole through both lungs and out the other side. She went about 500 yards across the field before she layed down. I think the ballistic tip would have done better, penetrated one side and all of its energy would have dissipated in the animal. The winchester ballistic silver tips do an excellent job also. I shot a 115 lb doe last year at 200 yards with the 7mag 140 grain ballistic silvertip. Hit right behind the shoulder and took out both lungs and top of the heart. Deer didnt go but about 2 steps. I have also killed deer with a 30-30 115 grain soft round nose. This deer was about 50 yards and he ran about 50 yards with blood blowing out both sides. The only white tails i've shot that the bullet didnt come out with with the muzzleloader. With the ballistic tips you can usually put your fist in the ribcage on the exit side. Some may say you're ruining meat, but really there's not much meat on the ribs of a deer. [/QUOTE]
