Good afternoon.
Just back from a great week on the red hinds in Scotland. Great hunting and craic as always despite the best efforts of the weather.
We sent a fair few away to the larder but feedback from the game dealer is not great.
Clean entry but major exit hole damage with lots of meat bruising despite chest shot rib to rib.
Using 300WM reloads with Nosler Accubond (white tip) bullets in 180g. Ranges from 60M to 220M, typically 170M+.
Wonder if I would be better with a Nosler Partition or Soft Point or other bullet instead rather than a tipped one?
All the hinds dropped at or close to the shot and love the 300WM in the wind but can't be sending away carcasses that are "bad".
Any recommendations on bullets welcome.
Not keen to change calibre before anyone proposes that!
Thanks.
