Howdy, I was wondering what y'all's experience has been with meat loss in both cast and j-words? I understand boolit placement is everything but from what I've seen 30 caliber has really destroyed a few deer. My neighbor gave us a deer he shot with his 30-06 at 150 yards. Both front legs were COMPLETELY unusable. I shot a buck with a 22-250 a week ago and had very little meat loss.
Of all the deer I've seen shot with a 30 caliber I've thought "What a waste!". Granted I've yet to shoot a deer with my 30 caliber cast boolits but.... I don't want to waste. What of 7mm and 6.5 boolits and meat loss? 45-70? Etc? Thanks!
