I've killed deer big and little from New Brunswick and Northern New England, to Alberta and the Central Canadian Provinces;and most of the Rocky Mountain states from 4000-10,000 feet,with a 7 pound 270.
Never found it wanting in the slightest,and noticed a 130 Partition made very short work of all of them,no matter the angles as long as the bullet was directed into vitals.
I've used other more and less potent cartridges and bullets in the exact same places. Nothing worked any better.
I've found killing deer to be ridiculously simple. Getting a shot at a big one is the hard part.
