Which does have a certain advantage. Additionally I prefer heart over hamburg shoulder meat. There is more than a little hamburg on a Deer and only one heart. Which is why I try to have a different stroke. Another commonly heard rule is shoot for the opposite shoulder. Why not also shoot for the one facing you when you can? Always made a ton of sense to me... The 280 Remington is overbore. The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

Hermon, LA/Gulf of Mexico	Originally Posted by Elvis Has anybody done any penetration tests with the 7mm 120 and 140 grain Ballistic Tip bullets? Does the 120gn penetrate further than the 140gn, or the same amount? Cant answer that. Every deer I ever shot THRU the shoulders with the 120 had 2 holes. Every one i shot IN the shoulder with the 140 looked like a bomb went off. If a 140 is desired use the 140NAB.

Here where I live a moderate velocity 160 or 175 is a better solution given typical shot distances. The way life should be.
