[QUOTE="Mike 338, post: 1532816, member: 41338"] Yup, high shoulder breaks/shocks the spine when it's done correctly. You need a bullet with deep penetration and plenty of disruption. Something bonded or a mono bullet like a Barnes or Rocky Mountain all copper. 243 is plenty fast at reasonable ranges so you get decent disruption, so long as the bullet doesn't blow up. For the record, I saw a neck-shot elk run 50 yards and roll another 100. That said, I saw many more drop in their tracks when shot that way. All shots were pretty close. Personally, I go for the heart/lung area behind the shoulder because it's high percentage. [/QUOTE]
