stubblejumper, I must agree with you RE: bullet placement. I once shot a small TX whitetail buck at about 60 yrds with a 140 Nosler Partition at 3350 MV, right behind the shulder and a little low. It was a full broadside shot, and I lost NO edible meat at all. I also once shot a big N.M. mulie buck at about 40 yards on a quartering away shot as it ran. The bullet hit behind the last rib on the left, travelled up into the right shoulder, and destroyed most of the right front quarter. Same bullet, same load!! Placement is everything, but you don't always get a picture-book broadside shot!!

Keep yore powder dry!!
