Several deer have fallen to 165 grain hornady SST bullets in front of my .308. Those little plastic tipped bullets seemed to do the job just dandy.

My tip after seeing several hundred Ballistic Tip failures
cast your own. You'll never go back to condom bullets again
Husqvarna said:nobody gonna comment on the second shot when the first animal wasn't tracked enough already?
you doubted your ammo and your sight-in and still took a second chance?
I know you guys are probably not high on laws/regulations (I am not either) but I fully support a law that states that you have to have access to a tracking dog when hunting.
Another tip could be to wait up to an hour or two before beginning to track, that way the animal isn't rushed out of the area and instead it seeks a shelter to lay down
I don't see how it is impossible, sure Sweden isn't Alaska
atleast over here we hunters face great scrutiny from animalactivists and so on so we have to be very ethical about it all. tracking animals involved in traffic accidents fall on some of us hunters.
But I stand by my first statement: I wouldn't take another shot at an animal before I knew the first one was down, and I put some real effort into tracking it, if it was a hit that will kill eventually it is my obligation to put that animal down.
Husqvarna said:tell me about the groundhogs and whatnot, surely there is a purpose to it?
We shoot them, in theory, because they ruin farmers crops and can be dangerous to livestock (stepping in holes)
Husqvarna said:like I said earlier would you be okey with breeding birds to be let out and shot for peoples enjoyment?
.... but we have come a long way since back in the day.
