I'd guess that I've seen more deer drop quickly from fast bullets that didn't exit than from through and through shots from a premium rifle bullet, but that is as an aside. This discussion is about blood trails, and I have never seen any reason to count on having one. Shotgun or rifle...
JW we have more in common than initials. grin
I certainly can’t remember the years but I clearly remember gun writers saying pre internet
days the the 243/6mm cartridges accounted for more than their share of instant
drop kills.
I personally have had more I D aka DRT with FAST moving bullets.... as long as they open up
and don’t “pencil thru”.
Now back to Blood Trails.
