[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1338816, member: 30902"] If you draw a horizontal line from the point of the shoulder across the body the spine on most animals is just above it. Right behind and just below the base of the ear will drop them in their tracks every time but you have very little margin of error. I prefer above all the shoulder/spine shot so I prefer non fragmenting bullets. The best I've found so far are the Peregrine VRG3 and VLR's. I get the same two to three fingered exit wounds with them no matter what caliber or velocity I'm shooting. I have yet to have an animal take more than two steps with that bullet be it small does or really big hogs or anything in between. Even my big Kudu, Black Wildebeest and Sable all dropped dead in their tracks with them. [/QUOTE]
