[QUOTE="edge, post: 498533, member: 5030"] It seems that the more I practice for long range shots the closer they end up being :) I have used the 8mm 200 grain SMK @ 3000 fps MV and taken two whitetail does. The first at under 50 yards. Quartering to me and the bullet entered just behind the front leg and exited just in front of the offside ham. About 1/2 of the intestines were ejected out of the chest cavity entrance wound! Second shot broadside at 100 yards. Bullet nicked a rib on the way in, just missed the heart and took out 3 ribs on the way out.....entrance and exit were at least 4 inches in front of the diaphragm. The deer ran and as I tracked it I found 1/2 of its liver lying in the snow about 25 yards from where I shot it and when I found it much of the gut were sticking out of the chest cavity. I have never seen two bullet wounds cause such massive trauma. I aim for the heart so bang flops are not the norm for me with any bullet. If you want that then go high shoulder and live with the meat loss. edge. [/QUOTE]
