This is my eldest daughter and a HUGE buck she took with my 30-30 Winchester carbine with angle-eject feature. The 150 grain Silver Tip SUPER X bullet did not bounce off at all. The animal became wobbily at the shot and toppled over after just a few steps. This buck weighed 262 lbs after field dressing which means it had a live weight over 300 lbs!
The "experts" recommend 25-06 as a minimum for hunting western mule deer. But apparently this buck did not read that article!
