1. Having no luck AND getting ICED....
2. I've been thinking about this the last few days while hunting and seeing nothing....
Regardless of the rifle>>>WHAT CARTRIDGE has given you the MOST 1 shot DRTs?? (drop right there) Not one shot kills with death run et.al.>>>>> 1 shot 1 drop.
I've killed deer with cartridges ranging from 243/6mm thru 8mm RM. I've had a few days to reminisce over the last 40+ yrs of deer hunting and deer reactions. I've had DRT with many or most cartridges BUT...
FOR ME, I've had more DRTs with the 7 RM - 139 HBTSP @ 3300 fps.
How about for YOU??

In my opinion DRT's are function of bullet placement much more than bullet/headstamp. Hit CNS/or big bone and DRT's are the result.

Mine was the 300WinMag. Old stock 150gr Ballistic Tips at 3,400fps over IMR4831. Lungs, shoulder, quartering-to, quartering-away, it didn't really seem to matter. I think I had 16 of 17 deer drop in their tracks.
Now with even more aplomb

Since I used a 30-30 all my life. It's safe to say it's a 30-30. 
Money can't buy you happiness, but it can buy you a hunting license and that's pretty close.

.270 Win with 130g bullets.
It also hold my "record" for the longest death-run with a well-placed shot though.

-06 But only because 90% of my BG hunting has been with an -06.
But as Jack O'Connor said, If the bullet doesn't go in the right place, it doesn't matter what you are shooting.
I am continually astounded at how quickly people make up their minds on little evidence or none at all.

Since I used a 30-30 all my life. It's safe to say it's a 30-30. I'd say a .30-30 with either a 150 or 170 round nose or Silvertip. A .30-30 was my first and only rifle for my first 10 years of hunting and most were bang flops with the Marlin 93. Shot placement probably had more to do with it then the caliber or bullet as back then most were neck shots at short range. 270

How about, "what camo pattern were you wearing when you got the most DRTs?"
