[QUOTE="68w, post: 1337354, member: 97869"] I tried several different flavors of factory ammo and found 80 gr. Blue box federal printing one hole groups at 100 yards. Got my rifle zeroed for 250 yards, shot a 180 lb doe straight through the heart at 262 yards. The doe jumped a fence and ran about 50 yards through some terrible terrain ending up in a lovely mudhole. Bullet performed mostly as expected, entered low in the chest and deviated up upon entering exiting mid chest opposite side. Heart was in pieces, lungs relatively untouched, bullet expanded and exited hurrah. Question is this, where should I put a shot to anchor the deer right there with an 80 grain softpoint since blowing the heart to smithereens didn't seem immediately effective. Additionally don't want to ruin a bunch of meat, very little bloodshot on the quarters with the shot as made. [/QUOTE]
