To test a new bullet and see how it performs.
Granted. So now you know and you won't have to turn good roasts into burger.
I really like the double lung shot. Any deer that I have shot didn't travel more than 50 yds after one of them. The only exception were deer that were being pushed by hounds.
Addmitably, there are circumstances that necessitate the drop where you are shots and if I may, I will offer you a better shot. I call it a high shoulder shot. About 6 inches below the back directly above the shoulder. It ruins very little meat and will drop them faster than a bad habbit.
