[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1524214, member: 4191"] Only read the 1st three Posts. A contrary tale. A friend shot a 9yr old Dall ram this past August with his 6.5 Creed. Was using the Hornady 143gr ELD-X, and hit the ram in the pocket just behind the front shoulder at a distance of ~65yds. Ram was quartering away, but not quite even a full quarter. The ram stayed on his feet and walked further away. Friend's trying to figure out how he could have missed. The ram stops again another 20yds farther away. About the same quartering profile, this time he shoots it farther back, behind the diaphragm angling into the lung area. The ram walks away and he loses sight of it after it goes maybe 10-15yds farther. He walks over and finds it dead where it went over the rise and out of view. Bottom line, the first bullet splatted into the meat between the rubs and the shoulder. Never got inside the ribs. My friend is DONE with this bullet. Now calls them paper bullets. Showed me pics of his hunt and ram. [/QUOTE]
