This is a very informative thread. I'm glad that the 250gr. Shockwaves work in my ML. I have taken two deer with it and they didn't complain. I can also load at least three of them without cleaning the barrel. I'm lucky I guess. One of the deer that I shot was a neck shot towards the back of the head and 3" section of the spine was convered to dust and goo. So I feel like the Shockwaves would do find on a shoulder blade.
