[QUOTE="tasaman, post: 4344208, member: 8206"] Since we are sharing I lost a really big buck. First buck I shot actually. Was a 200lb deer. Dropped him. Not a twitch. Then two minutes later when I had already lowered my gun to the ground and did not reload it, he stood up. Then he walked out of my life before I could get reloaded. Could have been shot placement. Could have been bullet fail. Fairly certain at that time I was using either Winchester silver or platinum bullets(quit making them several years ago) or a XTP. Both are good bullets but I may have pushed the speed too much for them. Any bullet will fail to do what it is supposed to if not pushed fast enough or too fast. I had a XTP blow a 5 inch diameter wound on a doe at 30 yards in the shoulder. It was only a half inch deep. Bullet splattered. She lived. I now shoot a much tougher bullet that can take any speed I want to throw at it and still get two busted shoulders anywhere from 1200fps at 300 yards to 2400 fps at 10 yards. Barnes Original 300gr.
