[QUOTE="RBrowning, post: 61417, member: 412"] Yellowjacket said "but all the whitetail seemed to run about the max distance of 50 - 70 yards with double lung hits" I don't believe it matters what you shoot a whitetail with if you double lung them, they will run 50-70 yards. I have hit them with a 30-06 150gr PSP, a 50 cal round ball and a 12 ga slug, same result every time. Not a case of bullet failure, just physiology. It takes time for a lung shot to work and they generally like to spend that time running. [/QUOTE]
