It sounds like most of us try to place our shots between the top of the heart and the middle of the lung onthe center line of the heart. I have been amazed at how many I have dropped on the spot with that shot since I started using fast opening bullets like the 250 GD, There is no dought that these guns are accurate enough to make carefully placed spine or brain shots at short range and that if you are willing to shoot through the shoulder it will drop them especally with a big heavy bullet. I think we all have different circumstances and have to adapt to them. Like if you can not see over 50 yds seting up for long range shot wont do a thing for your hunting. I moved
from the open cornfield of IL to the hills and lakes of AR and the differances are quite interesting, I did not take a deer the first year down here because they all looked like fawns to me. Lee
