I almost have my 460xvr setup for the fall hunt. I am planning on shooting the 200gr FTX Hornady. Has anyone hit a deer with one? Any suggestions on what a good bullet and shot placement would be?
Until now I have been using a 30-06 with the Federal Premium 165 Sierra Game Kings. CM shots drop with 1 step or less every time. I should mention Deer in NE PA where I hunt are field dressed around 110-130lbs. I like to make clean kills, but I also want to have something left to put in the freezer. A 200gr expanding bullet at 2200fps+- is similar in energy as the 30-06
