Dwayne,
Good morning to you! Hope all is well with you and your family.

The leaves are well into their turning down here, and the recent rains have been causing quite a few of them to come off the trees. It never fails that when this happens, my mind starts to wander through my reloading manuals and the rifles in the safe.

As we have always butchered our own deer as well, I've had the opportunity to see first hand the effects of a handful of different cartridges and bullets for each.

Like the other posters have already mentioned, I see more difference in the type or brand of bullets than I do in the various cartridges. (Unless you introduce a wide variation in bullet diameter or velocity)

That being said, I still enjoy the mental exercise of trying to pinpoint "the most bestest" cartridge for whitetails.

'Tis the season!
