Thanks for your replies.

Will go for the corelocks if the rifle likes them.

The roedeer is about 50 pounds.
So far, I have been shooting them with .308win - 150 gr. federal sierra gameking.
Yes, I know it is more than adequate firepower for roedeer, but is drops them and makes very little damage to the meat.

Time to use a 243 instead on the roedeer.
