I agree!
Hunting wgt BTs and std cartridges such as the 30-06, 7-08, 308 go great together IMO on deer sized game. Start a Ballistic Tip with a SD of ~.240 and up at 27-2900 fps and you`ll bring home the bacon at almost any reasonable range. Run them at warp speed and you need a differently constructed bullet up close.
