[QUOTE="dugby, post: 1421216, member: 7393"] I had one experience about 25 years ago where I shot a deer broadside with a Hornady 87 gr BTHP out of a 243 at about 130 yards. The bullet did not go through the shoulder blade. Took 2 more shots to put it down. Haven't hunted deer with a 243 since. Sometimes we get burned, and whether justified or not, we look elsewhere. Having said that I went deer hunting the other day with 30 cal 175 gr SMK. I have more confidence in the larger diameter. Terminal ballistics can be approached from more that one perpective. Barnes and Berger seem to have very different yet successful approaches towards terminal performance. [/QUOTE]
