[QUOTE="Turpentine21, post: 2951962, member: 124909"] I decapitated a doe last year with a 168 Amax out of my 20" barreled AR 10. She ran straight away from me, stopped, and looked back at me over her back which left me a Texas Heart shot (not happening) or base of skull/top of neck shot at 85 yards. The bullet hit the top of the white throat patch, penetrated, centered a vertebra, and that was that. 1 swipe with my 3" pocketknife and the head was off. Absolutely zero meat damage. Coyotes and bobcats don't tend to hold together well at all. A 168 Amax or ballistic tip is devastating on them. Even at my whopping 2620fps muzzle velocity. My absolute best too much gun story was a 7mm REM mag on a cotton tail rabbit. We were looking for meat for the pot, preferably larger, when we spotted the rabbit in a bean field. I made a perfect 80 yard shot at the base of the ear with a 139 grain sst. Again zero meat damage. The fried rabbit put back in gravy and some grits made for a very good supper. I did not recover the bullet on this one so I'm not sure whether it failed or not 🤔 [/QUOTE]
