It doesn't matter what you shoot them with. Unless you gt a spine or brain shot you can not guarantee that the animal will drop on the spot.

I've shot Florida deer with a .338RUM and they ran about 50 yards and I have shot elk with a .270 that flipped over backwards dead on the spot.

Every animal is different and sometimes they drop in their tracks and sometimes they run.
