Are you asking about reloading your own ammo or factory ammo? Why not just get use a lighter grain bullet in the 7mm? 7mm and 270 are ballistically very similar and I can't really fathom why you would switch guns (to what I consider a lower quality rifle none the less) for a minute change. Is there something else in play?

Oh yeah, if there are " big puddles" there's a dead deer somewhere. Go get him.

It would be worth calling deer search, but I'm not sure if they have anyone on LI.

Even if it was a low hit, it would only be low by an inch or so. Not a big deal. If the hit was as "hard" as you say, you'll have a dead deer.

Frothy blood likely means lung hit. If the blood trail was previously very good, the deer is probably dead nearby the last blood. The heart can't pump more blood out of the deer when there is no blood left. Mark the spots of blood to give you an idea of what direction the deer is heading. Start looking in that direction. Mark every drop of blood you find.

Yep...I tried to read this and have no idea what you are trying to say. Your neighbor put packing foam 16' in a tree then a deer ran into it in 3 leaps over a fence?

Sorry bud, but I'm not jumping on the bandwagon here. If you "killed" that deer, it would have been dead. Not alive and running off to where ever. Maybe you fatally wounded it, maybe you just wounded it. Maybe your neighbor actually killed the deer. Maybe it expired on his land without an additional shot required. We'll never know. Its hunting.

I'll third (?) the recommendation for the Rem accutips. Accurate, great expansion and weight retention.

Zone 1C Been out the last couple days in the mornings and evenings. More action in the mornings. Some seeking going on, but does aren't having it. Some bucks are just mulling around sniffing and eating. Bucks have not responded to grunts or estrus bleats. Oddly enough, I saw a group of 3 bucks this morning following each other in a slow walk. I'm not sure what that was about. Maybe the warm weather is slowing things down.
