6.5CM deer bullet choice

The accuracy was just...ok. Nothing to write home about. And then I hit a doe broadside, drew blood, and was not able to recover. Ok, stuff happens. Then I shot a buck with it the next day, which I did recover, but it just didn't seem to do as much of an energy dump as I like.

I think if you like to take shoulder shots, it will probably do the job, like a bonded bullet. Personally, I try to avoid the shoulders to save more meat, so I like something that's going to dump energy quickly. Just my .02 worth.

in my opinion , you can have too much bullet integrity . I like more frangible bullets for whitetails . the old Hornady SP's , core lokt , SST , ballistic tips ,and a lot more of the old school bullets , are perfect for deer hunting .

the old Hornady SP's

I’ve put down many of whitetails with that bullet.
