I have killed deer sized game with .243, 25-06,.260, 7mm mauser,7 mm rem mag.30-06,8x57 , .338 win.,.458 win. and .50 cal muzzle loaders. The most DRT I had were with the .260 and the .338. Similar performance and no tracking. The least spectacular of all of them was the .458 . poked a hole through and they wandered off 50-75 yds. Of course bullets and more importantly shot placement meant more then the headstamp.
