I have a great load for my 1-8” Tikka, 75 eld-m at 2934 mv.

Might shoot a deer with it this year.

Last year was mostly a 6.5 deal, but years prior. Impacts from nearly 3,000fps to just over 1,800. None were “80 pound swampier Louisiana whitetails”.

And that there, is why I generally avoid bone whenever possible and try to put the bullet tight behind the shoulder.
I'll take the occasional 50 yards runner, and VERY occasionally 100 yard+ runner to not have to deal with those bone fragments and that nasty, gritty bone marrow in the shoulder meat.

KInd of why we have gone to head and neck shots on all our whitey does we take for meat.

I’ve all but stopped shooting TMK’s for meat as they are too destructive. Imagine that- going to a less effective bullet in a 223 because they are too damaging.

That can't be! There are folk on other threads who think a 243 isn't a good deer rifle! Grins.
