This debate routinely surfaces about this time of year in deer camps, hunting forums etc...

Guy #1 uses 150gr(fast)cup and core bullets for his '06. Explains that they "open up" and do more damage.

Guy#2 opts for a heavier(and slower) bullet of similar design in the same round because it, "stays in the deer longer and does more damage."

How would you respond to this debate?


And................

Similar to above.. Often heard, "my magnum cartridge bullet is no good at close range. It is going through the deer too fast to completely open up fully and do much damage."

Thoughts please!
