I shot a whitetail with my Ruger 77/44, at 60 yds. a shot just below the spine produced a bang flop. Actually I was shooting my BIL's rifle and the round was a Winchester white box 240 gr., I shoot handloads in my 77/44 using Hornady 200 gr. XTP's over a max. load of WW 296. With good shot placement they usually don't make it 60 yds. from where they were shot.
