I've tried the 265 FTX on our deer here in south Louisiana and I don't get the wound channel
and damage that I would like to see. A big deer here is 200 lbs. the bullets don't need to be
as heavily constucted. The 240 grain remington flat nose performed well but are not
as accurate as I would prefer. I bought a box of the 225's so I guess I'll just load up a few and
do a little experimenting on my own. The woods here after Katrina are thicker than any I have
ever seen so when I pull the trigger I want a bang flop or a blood trail that is short and easy to
follow. I'll post my results.
