I know a lot of folks like the notion of dropping a deer in their tracks. As Weekender mentioned, that has more to do with shot placement than the bullet used. I do not aim for a high shoulder shot because it typically results in a lot of wasted meat, and quality protein is a big part of why I hunt. I like a bullet that does four things: APEE
Accuracy - First and foremost, it must hit very close to where it was aimed, consistently.
Penetration - A bullet must penetrate all the way through an animal, leaving a sizable exit wound and substantial blood trail.
Expansion - If designed to do so, a bullet should expand appreciably, causing extensive wound channel damage in the process.
Energy - Although frequently touted, a bullet need have only enough energy to ensure the above factors.
Everyone should be proficient at blood-trailing a deer; saying you're not good at it and that's why you want a "DRT" shot result isn't a good excuse for failing to learn this important skill. The reason being is that if you shoot enough game animals, you WILL have one that runs off a couple hundred yards...it is part of your responsibility as a sportsman to be able to trail and find your game. When you place a bullet in the heart-lung region of an animal, which offers you a much larger margin for error, all that bullet needs to do is perform as described above and you will be putting your tag on a critter after a relatively short, easy-to-follow blood trail.
