cowtown, please read the above post and the link about outdoor life. the reason for your fast kill is the loss of blood causes the kill, the faster kill is from the added damage of remote wounding. It is explained in the buffalo cull experiments. Your particular caliber and bullet choice, possibly, is just more efficient in a deer sized game as a 257 than a 7mm in accomplishing this added damage.
