[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2444877, member: 30902"] There's the big "IF". I frequently talk about matching placement to the expected performance of the bullet. For that shoulder shot I personally would stick to an expanding mono or bonded bullet and reserve the use of the much more explosive/frangible bullet for the behind the shoulder "high long shot" but that's just me and admittedly I'm a freak about terminal performance and keeping meat loss to a minimum while still ensure a clean, quick, humane kill. Another great bullet for that choice of shot is the Hornady SST. They'll penetrate 3-5" consistently and then fragment violently. Another consideration that is often ignored is the fact that high velocity impacts on major bones like the Humerus turns them into even more fragments. If you're shooting at something you intend to do a shoulder mount with the type of bullet and shot placement really need to be well matched to avoid ruining the trophy. [/QUOTE]
