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

The most recent are Nosler Ballistic Tips, 100 grain out of my 250 Savage Ack Imp. For my son’s 250 Savage 100 grain Partitions.
My 358 Win Hornady 200 gr in Spire point and round nose.
I don’t remember having any bullet ‘fail’ on deer in over 50 years of hunting and killing about 60+ whitetail deer using these and many other different firearms and cartridges.
Smallest was 22 Hornet, biggest the 458 Win Mag (300 gr JHP handloads).

ADDED: Thinking back I shot a deer with my Ruger Redhawk with a Keith 44 Mag 250 SWC cast out of straight linotype high in a deer’s lungs. The deer ran for 100 yards and didn’t bleed a drop until it fell over. Not a bullet failure just my poor shot placement
