Bullet and Calibre Survey

[Bucksdeermanager]

Hi All

Am posting this on behalf of The Deercast who are running their annual calibre / bullet survey. It’s really quick and easy to take part (only three questions). I know they’d appreciate any replies:

The Deercast 2026 Bullet Survey

The Deercast first launched its bullet survey in 2024. The survey has now run for two consecutive years, with 2026 being the third year. In this survey we try to gather data on the calibres deer stalkers are using, why they use those calibres, which bullets they choose to use and why! All the...

forms.gle

Results will be summarised in a video on their channel in due course.

TIA

Really this is just click bait!

Because those who know what’s is a good bullet, know because they have used it for a long time.

I was told by the late stalkerboydy that is you want to know if a bullet is any good you need to shoot 100 deer with them, good or bad, I followed that advice to the letter and has served me well.

My replies were 3 cartridges that weren’t on the list plus 4 bullets that weren’t on the list either - all were lead core, Sierra GameKing, Sierra Pro-hunter, Nosler BT & Norma SP. As has been said, just looking for content for a video on YouTube.

At the risk of being a pedant, I wish it was worded better, cartridge not calibre, there are numerous .30 cals, .6.5 cals etc.
