Guys,
I go for the double lung as well. Also agree that the meat is better too. The last doe I shot, sunday evening, was a pretty far distance and I did not get quite the drop I was expecting. The Shockwave hit just under the spine, between the back of the lungs and liver. Dropped like a rock, but little bleeding.

I was aggrivated for two reasons. First I didn't hit exactly where I intended (although the outcome was good) and second, even thought the impact hit the ribs just below the spine, it broke her back and boogered up the backstraps and completely destroyed the tenderloins!!

Despite hitting a rib on the way in, the bottom of the spine and a rib on the way out, the wound channel was excellent and the bullet performance was superb. Looked like a 30-30 wound. No metal fragments in the meat, complete pass through, exactly likea bullet should. No PB would have done that.

Anyway, it is no secret that I am not a PB fan. I started using them when I began M/L hunting 4 years ago. I think the bullets over 295 grains are ok and even the 295s are too, but when loaded sensibly. Every gun is different, but I honestly think that 100 grains of pyrodex is probably getting to, or exceeding, the capabilities of the soft, squishy lead PBs with the cavernous hollowpoint. If you want a maxiball, get a maxiball. If you are shooting a modern inline, get a modern bullet.
