Wow...I have punched thru the scapula or shoulder bone both facing and opposing side with 150gr NBT out of my 7mm rem mag on several occasion on our larger canadian bucks and have yet to see a deer maketo many yardswith such a shot. Oh they do make a mess of the shoulder but never failed to get it to paydirt! Although I have had one expolde of the same shot with 130/.277 the shot was about 100 yards and I yanked it flush into a bucks shoulder(poor shot on my account), it broke the shoulder and bone fragments got a single lung. I knew I screwed up and the signs left in the snow made me back off till morning as it was right near the end of the day. I came back the next morning and found my buck approx200 yards deadin a blowdownbut had I pushed him I have no doubt he would have made more yardage than this.

That is really too bad, glad she got him. What grain bullet was she shooting? Just out of curiosity.

Power what grain AB are you shooting in the 7mm rem mag?Also if you get a chance to use them, let us know how they fair? I have been thinking about buying some 140's to give a whirl for deer hunting, will have to wait till next year now though. Season is in full swing and I am planning on using my ML mostly this year, if i do go out with the rifle I just stick with 140 TSX( I admit I am a leary about a broadside rib shot on deer but won't know till I try. They shoot nice and worked well for both my elk/moose harvests this season.) Best of luck!
