[QUOTE="Outlaw6.0, post: 1338308, member: 23486"] I can't add a lot more than WildRose did as I am in complete agreement with him. I also agree with everyone that prefers a heavier bullet. You've already proved that the 80grain pill will do the job however, as already alluded to, contact with bone may give you some results you don't like. Someone above brought up the neck shot. Personally I've used this shot several times, twice last year alone. A few inside 100 and one at over 600; none made it more than 2 steps. Right, wrong or indifferent, I've had 100% success. YMMV. We should also discuss the OPs experience with what is described as a well placed heart shot. In my experience, every animal reacts differently. Honestly, I've had far more animal go down immediately or within 50yds than I've ever seen run >50. I'd bet the next one the OP smacks in the heart will react differently. In what way, who knows lol. t [/QUOTE]
