Most of mine have been through the meaty part of the shoulder but my closest 15 yard shot with my 22-250 and my largest deer to date, a buck that dressed in the 220's was shot through both shoulder blades with full penetration and an exit hole. Those partitions cruise right on through deer with a nickel sized exit. Even liver punched 2 deer, a buck that went about a body length forward before crashing and a doe that went maybe a long hundred yards. Shoot them in any vitals and they don't go far at all. Never tried any super steep quartering away shots just broadside or slight quartering to and break the nearside shoulder.


The last time that bear ate a lawyer he had the runs for 33 days!
