Yep, but the wound channel was never the less quite impressive. Something in excess of an inch - and the lungs were all messed up.

Hmm... Nope, I won't go over to lighter, faster and more fragile bullets. I believe that the brute force of a heavier bullet, and the advantage of being able to hit an accidental twig, beats the annoyance of having to trail the deer for a few more meters.

An exit wound of an inch on a rather fragile Roe deer is quite small and I see it as the sign of too tough a bullet. I therefore agree with 1894.

Indeed I understand your view especialy if this is going to be used on boar and stag. However a standard 150gr soft point could hardly be called marginal on roe [Wink]

Indeed, I have no problems taking roe deer with my trusty .222Rem using Normas wonderful 62gr softpoint bullet. It's enough gun for roe deer...

The 180gr Oryx is what I use for moose.
