Best Rifle Bullets for Deer Hunting
What happens after you pull the trigger depends on your bullet choice. Choose wisely.
How to Choose a Hunting Bullet
It’s easy for anyone to be confused by what appears to be an unlimited number of bullet designs on the market today. Cast lead bullets, cup-and-core bullets, bonded bullets, monolithic bullets—what’s all this stuff mean? Here’s a cheat sheet to share with new hunters.
Bullets for African Plains Game
You’ve probably heard that African dangerous game can absorb five hits from an Abrams tank and keep on charging. You’ve probably heard that kudu, eland, wildebeest and even impala are so tough from evading lions and leopards they’ll soak up bullets that would floor a North American brown bear. Nonsense.

The T/C Venture is a must-have rifle for any deer hunter who's looking for an inexpensive and comparable alternative to the more premium choices.
Winchester Power Max Bonded
Winchester’s affordable new ammo features a bonded bullet that exhibits 2.5-times expansion—perfect for deer.
