That Barnes bullet in Coyote's pic did an amazingly small amount of damage to that deer given the impact velocity. I've seen worse (slightly) from my 30-30. That buck was not a straight-down DRT. I had to trail it for 3 or 4 yards. Every step took it closer to a 4x4 trail so I didn't really care. The final drag to where it lays in the photo (you can see a tire track to the right of my pack) was 2-3 yards. Wish they were all like that.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
