I hunt in the woods and any shot would be under one hundred yards and probably under 50 yds.
I prefer my 35 Whelen with 250 gr bullets.
I also have a 375 H&H Magnum that I load down to use 220 gr. Flat nose @ 2200 fps.
That is even better.
What do you guys use when you know that the shot will be close and tree branches and brush are thick.
My land is all that way.

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.
