[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1114679, member: 30902"] Carny, where you hit them is far more important than the caliber you hit them with and even to some degree the bullet chosen. If you are a guy who likes to take shoulder shots there's a whole lot of muscle and very hard bone to get through so you need a bullet that will hold together and get deep penetration. If you shoot behind the shoulder for a heart/lung shot then you have very little to penetrate other than ribs and they are not hard bone and not very thick so it doesn't take a really tough bullet to do the job. If you take that into consideration then the choice of the type/brand of bullet isn't an important one. The most important consideration is having a bullet you can accurately put into the vitals at the ranges you are shooting. Reasonably, what range do you expect to be shooting at? [/QUOTE]
