    Can't go past Remington Core Lokt. It's ugly but hell it works and groups well too. If you're not worried about spending a little more get him onto the Sako Gamehead or Gamehead Pro. Both great, Gamehead is SP Pro is BP (Soft and Balistic point).
    Remington is $50-$60 per 20 rounds Sako is $70-$80.
    But I second and third the above....hit the damn thing in the shoulder not the ribs!

    Mmm, yes, abit like this post really. just because one deer went 100 m before falling over doesnt mean its the projectiles fault or the next deer wont just be pole axed.
    Anything shot behind the shoulder and not quite right animals might run.. The fed powershoks (if it was a blue box)normally cause a heap of damage and drop animals very well.
    Writing of a certain round because of one deer running is ricdiclous. To get results everytime hitting the shoulder and right in that engine room it work 100pcent of the time.
    Shooting further back, dont quite get it right or just hit one lung a round can still cause heaps of damge or not and the deer will still run then fall over.

    Yes, without a doubt, the round is not not the problem here, where it was shot and a couple of factors were.
    Shoot 20 deer and in a few different areas and see what the results are first before you blame the tools...... ,
