What is your Meat Saver round?

[dragon813gt]

Wow, you must have had some real bad luck. Bears, bucks, does ,yotes all dropped within sight, when I do my part.

I don't have bad luck w/ broadheads. Red dots on crossbows that won't hold zero are another story. Thankfully I didn't wound any deer because of that horrible optic.

W/ parts that move it's not a matter of if they will break. It's a matter of when they will break. I don't like taking that chance when hunting. Everyone is entitled to use whatever they want as long as it's legal in your state. I just prefer simplicity w/ a lot of things in life. Guess it comes from my trade but the more complicated the equipment is the more it fails.

+1 worked 30 years ago when we were young with kids.

Yeah they do occasionally break a blade , the end result is still the same so far. I've broken blades on Rocky Mtn Razor,Wasp Cam Lok, and Thunderheads also (all fixed blade) , it happens. Never broke a Bear razor or a Zwickey Eskimo however. I admire your determination to cleanly take your animal though. Simpler is usually better I admit.

any bullet head shot .......... meat saved.....

[Fishman]

100 gr slick trick broadhead works great. Flies like a field point to 50 yds out of my bow. Deer shot with a bow taste better in my opinion, but I like deer regardless.

300 blackout 155 gr lee @1800 fps doesn't make much mess Either.

If you have seen deer starve to death with a broken jaw, it isn't pretty. I usually consider a head shot a fools game at the best of times. I have done so but much prefer a break the off shoulder shot.

Have a little patience, pick your shot and the bullet doesn't matter much. This was a CB Short.

[white eagle]

if a meat saver is a get it done cartridge
for me it the 45-70 with a 425 gr 25-1 Accurate Molds Boolit for my normal meat hunts
however if I get to go out of state where the shots will be longer than my normal woods range
I would take my 3 groove model 70 win.in 280 Ackley Improved

I won't take that shot anymore unless I can do it with a downward angle...but I don't like to let them get that close. I've bounced more than one boolit off that very spot.

I killed 3 hogs only 1 ran any distance and he was already all juiced up when I shot . I served the rib that got clipped on 1 and the trenches exit wounded ham . Really we ate the bullet hole . 45 Colts 452-252 SWC over 8.0 Unique 1000 fps from a 16" carbine.

Now the 200gr pp self spire point just made an exit mess on the off shoulder at 2400 fps ,silver dollar hole in the hide baseball cavity in front of the shoulder and rib chips almost into the neck but very dead ,just 1 bound saved me about 80ft up the hill .

I still have about 18 Bear Magnum w/bleeders maybe 1 of these days I'll get back to it . 125 gr points on a 32" cedar shaft totaling 425gr from a 48# Bear Grizzly 58" and a 30" draw .......29 ftlb 1.25 inches tall 1 inch wide . Dad killed 2 Ca deer and 5-6 in Utah with it ,I shot a few ducks and a goose with it .

[flounderman]

shoot it in the neck and it doesn't make much difference what you use. Shooting something thru the shoulders is just a waste of meat.

[Harter66]

I shot a feral cat through the neck one time ,managed to miss everything except I guess esophagus , found it 4 days later .....
