[QUOTE="redsnow, post: 1045500, member: 14952"] I've watched the video, our deer are a little bigger than antelope. I can't tell for sure, but it looks like the pronghorn was shot high on it's shoulder/spine, or in the neck. ??? With a shot like that, I'd feel comfortable with the 90gr's I've been shooting. I'm curious if that 80gr made an exit wound? But at that angle, if you'd drop down, (aiming for it's heart/lungs) and catch 2 or 3 ribs, my 90gr's will explode. I'm sure it'd die just as quick, but I'd like to have an exit channel. I can think of 2 or 3 deer I've shot in the neck, with 90gr bullets, and never got an exit. Shot high on their neck, too, not down in the meat near the brisket. Of course it hammered them, but IMO the bullet is just too fragile. Seems like bullets are hard to find these days! Not sure exactly how many deer I've killed with my 25-06's, I do remember 3 bear kills. But it's taken me quite a few, to finally realize, I need a different bullet. Hunting in the wide open is a lot different than hunting in the timber. [/QUOTE]
