So far, only one request for the Layne Simpson article. I'll be happy to send out more, just send me a PM.
BTW, the outfitter was Howard Simmons from SC and the data covers a 20 year span.
One correction. I stated that in the .25 cal. category, the .257R was a major player. When I re-read the article, the breakdown of .25 caliber rounds wasn't specified. The .257R was included, but I can't say to what percent among .25's. I was writing from memory, so wanted to correct any perception that wan't actually specified in the article.
Another point from the article, soft bullets performed better on Whitetails than harder, premium bullets. Deer hit with soft bullets traveled an av. of 26.9 yds, those hit with hard bullets traveled an av. of 43.5 yds. Hard bullets have their place. For Whitetail hunting, they may not be the best choice.
