I used a ton of bullets and cartridges. My current favorite is a 195gr TMK loaded in a 308. This particular deer was taken last year with that load. He was 144 yards and it was a direct chest shot. He did a back flip on impact, landing on his back and never recovered. Both lungs, top of the heart, and a portion of his liver were shredded. All the energy transferred into him. No exit. Absolutely phenomenal terminal performance. These 195s have all the sectional density/mass to provide plenty of penetration at close ranges, and are constructed very well to provide adequate expansion down to an impact velocity of 1400fps. For my particular load, that happens to be 1000 yards! The 208gr ELDM would be my second choice and performs very similarly. I just get better accuracy from the Sierras.
