Lee - that's my shot, tight behind the front shoulder about 1/3 up the body. Now this is with blackies in the 200-300 lb class. If i were to get a whack at something bigger and I was using a centerfire, yes I would probably try and break down the shouder because I would still have enough oomph to enter the vitals .
But with the Muzzy, I think I would still go behind the shoulder - especially on a slight quartering away shot unless I was using a very heavy solid lead bullet. I don't think the XTPs or SWs would stand up to a solid shoulder shot and still be able to enter the vitals.
What do you think?
