A deer that makes it more than 75-100 yards in our creek bottoms is 50/50 as to whether it'll be recovered. I've hit 'em with everything from the 300 mag back down to the 6.5 swede and have had my best success with the 35 Remington using the 220 gr Speer bullets designed for the Whelen. They don't expand much, but don't need to. If you get a whitetail inside of 150 yards with that combo it's DRT (dead right there). Hopefully this'll be the same kind of medicine.
