Default RE: 2 does shot with 175 gr PR bullet

Most of our hunting for does is in CRP fields with food plots on the edge. Ave size is 220 yards square. I can usually see them run for the first 100 yards that is why I chose the light flat shooting bullets. If I hunt the brush I might to a different bullet/powder combo. I am sighted in for 150 yards and this is 3” high @ 80 yards. I tried the Barnes all copper but the were 4” higher and left of my PR bullet. So far I have recovered all the deer shot with PR bullets, but they have ran a lot. The first doe had part of its heart shot, both lungs and either the bullet or a piece of rib blew a hole in the liver. She ran 130 yards into a drainage ditch but couldn’t make it out the other side of the ditch. I watched her all the way so recovery was no problem.
