I don't see were all of this is going with "you need such and such to shot this and that" I have read about some of the outfitters up in alaska will not let some their clients shot moose and bear with 30-06 anymore(too small)... that plain stupid in every sense. My uncle lived in alaska(worked for a utility supple company) for near 30 years that is all he used up there for sheep, goats, moose, bear, wolverines, etc.

Like I said before it all about shot placement whether using a cannon or a .223/.204 bad shot placement with ether your going to be chasing your venison.


But not at 250yds and not without the proper bullet type.

Nice try by the way on trying to change the focus.

Two I looked on the Berger website and they do not list a VLD bullet for the .204 cal.



You are the one that said "Are bullets that fragment considered soft point or expanding bullets?"
It is basically the same type of bullet --- releasing all energy into the animal.


Really??? I do not think so!

What about why did you list the Hornady website when you are using Berger VLD bullets that are not even listed for a .204???


Are you ever going to answer this question??


I though I did. They are both fragmenting bullets and yes, Hornady has a disclaimer they have to in this day and age.

I in no way encourage NOR discourage anyone from using a properly functioning Ultra-light rifle for Mule deer hunting also... I in no way encourage NOR discourage anyone from using any type of LEGAL ammunition for Mule
deer hunting.
Fine print: For I know nothing of the skill-set(fundamentals of shooting) nor of the competence(ethical hunting) nor of the confidence(being sure of the proper use of the tools of the trade) of the average hunter here. Therefore this is not my place to judge in ones quest to hunt Mule deer.
This made me Laugh

Again, sorry for bringing up the .204 my bad. 
                            
 


So if a retailer has it on his shelves during deer season it must be okay for deer. Really, no one hunts or shoots anything else during deer season.

If you have been to small towns in the high plains you will know deer season is an event. The convenience stores I talk about have ammo for only for deer season first part of November to around Thanksgiving. They put it out for deer season same with upland bird season. You do not see it there the rest of the year AND they put it out because it is 100% legal.
Yes, they may but, it is put out there mainly for deer season hence their sign lot of time written on a Budweiser banner and the like... says Welcome deer hunters we have ammo.
And of course... don't forget the fact of the ammo being perfectly legal to began with.

I think that may have been directed towards you.
Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms should be a grocery store, not a government agency

Yikes 5 pages worth of reading I'll never get back..........what a waste of good time.  This is about as worthless as getting a gunsmith to judge optics glass with his buddies and shooting 100 milk jugs to prove penetration.

Crickett Pink Synthetic - Stainless Barrel
It only weighs 2.5 lbs...And you just might be able to find some 22lr in "deer" season.
