I’ve swapped back to 95 Ballistic Tips.

I’ve shot deer with many different bullets out of my .243s and haven’t had an issue yet. I like 2 holes and the 95s have always done well for me there.

I have as much faith in my .243s as anything. I’ve seen a lot of guys around here upgrade due to losing deer shot with them...funny thing is they’re still losing deer with their magnums as well.

Some people just can't shoot!

Buck fever gets to a lot of folks and some feel a bigger caliber/cartridge (there is a difference between caliber and cartridge) makes up for piss poor shooting ability/shot placement.

If I have time I still snap a pic or 2 of a buck before I lower the hammer on him. I can still get excited.but not lose my wits.
