Not I'll pull a "badass" on you guys.......my buddy's have MLD ground, and I cull whitetail does for them evey year (local mexicans love me). Killed almost 70 in the last 3 years with a wide variety of 6.5mm bullets. Moral to the story is there are a wide variety of reliable bullets that kill the crap out of deer sized game. That doesn't include the 100 or so hogs I "tested" bullets on, and they're much tougher than any whitetail IMO/IME.


For the most part, killin' whitetails is not much of a test for bullets.............................

Just sayin'.

Maybe not, but it's way better than lip service. You must also have missed the "hogs" part. Just sayin......


I didn't miss a thing...............I just let that one ride.

But there's little bitty hogs & then there's a few real hogs................no idea, nor do I care what size hogs they were. Probably a mix. But then again, you must be one bullet testing, killing machine.

Rock on dude.

The point it, citing whitetails as a testing bed for bullets is the next thing to no testing at all.

With all that being said, it matters more than punching holes in paper, since most of the folks sitting around this virtual campfire are indeed "deer" hunters, even if they hunt elk, bear and/or elephants.
