My old departed BIL shot several pickup loads of deer with an old Win 88 in .243. Bullet technology in 1970 wasn't that good on the new Winchester Power Point and Remington Core Lokt and many failures occurred. He had a friend that used one and loaded a 95gr Speer Hot Core. They never had a deer run off.
