I suppose you are right. I loaded some 85 grain Nosler Solid Base years ago so he could porcupine hunt.
I told him those light bullets were not for deer. He ignored me and shot a deer anyway.
I have a friend who shoots a .270 Wssm and he says the deer don't drop instantly so he is shopping for a bigger rifle.
People are funny.
I love my 35 Whelen. Never a problem finding a deer after getting shot with that.

I like to do my hunting BEFORE I pull the trigger!
There is only one kind of dead, but there are many different kinds of wounded.
