      Like I said I do use 95 grain bullets also. The 55's are plenty enough power to take down whitetail, never had one run over 50 yards from bullet impact.

            That buck's antler bases might be 5" in circumference. There's no way they're 5" in diameter.

I have never personally had a problem with a round expanding. My deer I just shot was perfect created a nice cavity and made quick work of his ribs and internals. Just my opinion though.... BTW I stick mainly with the .243 because its a sentimental gun, if I ever get to hunt with my Darin Wyoming it will definitely be a 30-06 or. 270 being shot. Around here in east TX. A .243 is plenty to get the job done.

                  Here are the bullets I use, and I do agree it is crazy to use such a low grain bullet. This bullet never butchers the deer and is a consistent kill shot every time. I have always found my deer, but like I said this is my opinion take it for what it's worth.

                  Just be extra critical of shot placement, if you ever catch shoulder it's not gonna be good.

                    He sounds like he is a seasoned hunter. I'm sure that he is very carefull with shot placement.

                    Personally though, I would like to have a little heavier projectile for hunting. Just my .02 cents.

                      All it takes is for the animal to step right before the trigger breaks, seen a seasoned hunter do it last year with a .25-06

                              Price range?. I really like tikka's. For the price. I also like the savage classic and tc icon.

                              Never been a off the shelf remington guy.

                                Yep, what price range?
                                I agree with Sleeper, never really cared for the Remingtons unless using for a foundation.
