We take the shots that are offered. That said, I'd say it's not the placement, but the bullet and velocity. I also almost exclusively use my 7x57, 150 Partitions @ 2700fps. I'll have some meat damage, but they always fall. I'm considering using 175RNs @2400fps. Two I've killed with that load, one could almost eat up to the hole. Captdavid
"It's not how hard you hit 'em, it's where you hit 'em." The 30-06 will, with the right bullet, successfully take any game animal in North America up to 300yds.
If you are a hunter, and farther than that, get closer!
