[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1382437, member: 30902"] Don't take it as "dismissive", not intended that way at all. Shot placement is always key and varies with all sorts of things from the game sought, how it's put together, how "tough" they are known to be etc is always a big factor. Bullet selection and caliber play a big part in deciding placement as well. Example. You are shooting 300gr .375's at large, dangerous game. If you go with the FMJ for punching bone and instead hit the ribs missing all of the heavy bones on an animal you're likely to lose that "Bull of a lifetime" or "XXX of a lifetime and your last memory of that animal is likely to be it's *** topping the next rise. Hit that animal through both shoulders taking out the "running gear" you're not likely to have to search much over 50 yards diameter from where you fired. Match your placement to the bullet and the task at hand and you'll do fine. [/QUOTE]
