Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles .243 - Shoulder shots or lung shots?

Great pics! I love the pics with the kids in them. I have had two of my quickest kills with the old Hornady Spire Point 100 grain. The first was a head on shot entering the chest low and I found the jacket separated in the bucks diaphram. The deer dropped and never quivered. Range, 50 yards. The second was a clasic broadside shot at 175 yards. Hit him right behind the shoulder, two bounds and he piled up dead. Found the expanded bullet under the far sided hide. I would think that those Hornady bullets would be real comparable to the CoreLokt which has also served me well in my 30-06 150 grain. I don't bust shoulders, don't need to when deer go down so quickly from heart/lung boiler room hits.
