I have been reading a lot of older threads here on the campfire and basically, what seems to come quite a bit is professional hunters and outfitters recommending cup and core bullets for deer size game and premium bullets like the partition, accubonds and ttsx for elk size game. They are talking about the deep penetrating bullets for elk not working as well on deer sized game. Bring something a little more fragile to hunt light skinned, smaller bodied animals like deer. I was thinking of loading some light for caliber TTSX bullets for mule deer and open prairie hunting here in Wyoming, but would I be better with ballistic tips or just Hornady interlocks, Sierra Gamemaster etc. What is the general thinking on this topic with modern bullets?
