Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Worst bullets for Killin game

Never experienced bullet "failure" per say as every big game animal I've shot has died. I've also never used "marginal" cartridges nor have I taken a shot that I thought was "marginal". I have on occasion been less than impressed with a couple of bullets but again the animal died and was recovered. This sight abounds with what some label as "stunt shooters". If people have success with a 223 on deer, I say go for it. It seems to be working. Same goes with "match" bullets. I have no reason to call anyone out who is successful. I tend to "use enough gun" and tend to pay attention to articles (written by reputable authors who don't compromise integrity for free stuff, MD comes to mind) centered around new bullets. Middle of the road cartridges with middle of the road velocity pushing middle of the road bullets work.
