Bottom line is that I'm using "softer" bullets for my deer hunting these days.
That's pretty much what we're all trying to say.
My biggest buck was shot at 30 feet with a Remington Core-lokt, 165gr. It was shot high in the onside shoulder,and didn't exit. It broke the shoulder and didn't exit and I didn't find the bullet. But the deer died withing seconds and 100 yards. Not a lot of blood until about 30 yards before he dropped. Lots where he dropped. That's also the only core-lokt I've used that didn't exit.
I would suggest trying Federal Fusion if you're not reloading. I've switched to those for everything I shoot factory in. They're very accurate and work as advertised.
