Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting What are your favorite deer bullets and why? Bad experiences?

I mainly use the following:

.223. 64 grain Win PPT
.243. 95 or 100 Partition
6.5x55 129 Horn IL
270 Win. 130 Horn IL
7mm-08. 120 Nosler BT
270 WSM. 130 Partition or 140 Accubond
.300 Savage. 150 Horn IL or SST

The only bullet I personally have had bad experience with is the 100 Grain Seirra Game King in. 243. To explosive and left little to no blood trail. Luckily we had a dog and deer didn't really go far. Bullet exploded on the near side shoulder.
