I’ve killed about 30 whitetails, mostly with a 243, 270 30/06, and 300 WSM. I seem to get better bloodtrails with the 30 calibers than the others. Does anyone else notice better bloodtrails once you reach a certain caliber size?
On average, I see better blood trails with .30, .338, and .358 stuff than I do with the smaller chamberings, but it is expected. There are outlying incidents, of course, but on average, the larger bores seem to produce larger exits, which often equate to more leakage.
