This year I took a Buck that was shot earlier in the morning by someone else. Hit in the shoulder, broke the bone and fragmented. Don't know the caliber but guessing small high powered. I finished him off with my 9.3X62 at about 100 yards. Thru the lungs, heart and went through the same shot up shoulder. The 9.3X62 was a clean hole with no damage. This was the sixth deer taken with this rifle never have had any shot up meat. Can't say that for the wifes 243 with 100g, makes a mess unless good shot placement.
