Good to know on the shoulder issue, but what happens if its a 225 pound buck, in rut, and you miss the ribs and hit the shoulder?
I had a 300 wtby shooting the 180 nosler partitions(how I learned they are NOT the bullet for the 300, use the 200 partition instead or better yet a barnes) when I shot a similar buck, big, heavy, in rut, big neck... Shot him in the neck at about 125 steps. I had no other target. Bullet stopped on THIS side of the spine. But it hit hard enough to break the neck at least. So I could grab my pistol and shoot him again....
Just saying, when dealing wiht small rounds, you shoudl be EXTRA careful on bullet choice.
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....
