[QUOTE="angus-5024, post: 455556, member: 10306"] i think that it has alot more to do with shot placement than a lower velocity. In LR hunting most guys go for a high shoulder shot over the traditional heart/lung, and for good reason. With LR hunting getting your bullet to open up is a little tougher than at close range, so we tend to aim at something hard (bone). The best spot to shoot then is the high shoulder, giving good room for error and an almost garanteed fast put down. with Heart/Lung shots, there gonna die. its just a matter of how long they run (if they do). bonus with heart lung is no meat damage. Now there are way more experienced opinions out there, but thats what I figure. [/QUOTE]
