I miss reading 'ol Herne from the UK from that other forum. He seemed kind of surprised that when he went from the 140's out of his 6.5 to the faster 129's that he got quicker kills. Softer bullets kill deer quicker because they destroy more tissue. Most of my deer have run because I was using heavy for caliber bullets to guarantee an exit wound. Then I lost a nice one using a TSX, so I'm in the softer cup & core bullet camp now. Whitetails are only about a foot across through the brisket, so I want something that opens fast with enough weight to penetrate.
