[QUOTE="68w, post: 1338685, member: 97869"] I have some 95 gr fusion and SST on hand that shoot ~ an inch at 100. Since my rifle likes them better a little lighter I thought about premium bullets 80-85 gr. Like partitions, Barnes, etc. Of course there's no guarantee they will shoot good and I'm really not sure white tails justify the extra expense, maybe elk or black bear. My thinking may be wrong, but the bullet if anything performed quite well full penetration, exit 3-4x size of entrance, heart in pieces, easy to follow blood trail. I'm just inexperienced enough to question if there's a better place to put the bullet without sacrificing a lot of meat. If I was to go for the neck I'd probably adjust my zero a bit and limit to closer shots. Anyone had a long runner after a neck shot/ where exactly on the neck is point of aim. [/QUOTE]
