[QUOTE="The Oregonian, post: 1170605, member: 51405"] I agree that e heart/lung doesn't really produce bang flops. Most of those have run 25-75 yds, but it is always fatal and they don't run far with good shot placement, almost no matter the bullet. The bang flops I have had are neck shots or putting it right on the upper shoulder, and from talking to most outfitters, that is the place to shoot for bang flops. The theory I have heard and that makes intuitive sense to me is that the high front shoulder shot a) pushes the shoulder blade against to vitals with a lot of energy, and b) turns bone fragments into shrapnel, and c) puts the bullet right into the vitals anyway. Makes sense to me and fits with my experience this year with a big 225 lb whitetail buck...his legs fell out from under him. To me the issue is what helps on a less than perfect shot. Ballistic tips and similar seem to have lots of shrapnel and have a better blood trail. Accubonds, unless the hit bone, seem to pencil more frequently and not leave a good blood trail. [/QUOTE]
