[QUOTE="ejboy, post: 356391, member: 18207"] RT2506 hit the nail on the head. The high shoulder shot is the place to drop them in there tracks. I have hit that mark a few times. A lot of the deer that I have killed did not preasent that angle for such a shot. My first deer was killed with a .243 shot in the neck which dropped him in his tracks. Much to my supprise as I had been aiming behind the shoulder as I was instructed. Between the shacks and the pounding of my heart is nothing short of a miracle that I even hit that deer. That was 36 years ago. The next year in January of 1975 my wife gave birth to my oldest child a girl. I went the same day to good friend who had a sporting good store and ordered a Rem. 700 BDL in 25-06. I hunted with it that fall but due to a scope problem I did not harvest a deer. I used factory ammo until 1979 when after a lengthty study I started reloading. I had chosen the Sierra Gameking in 120 gr HPBT. This made a deadly deer round.Some of them ran to as much as a 100 yards and some fell in there tracks. I always tried to deflate them and smash the boiler. I next went to a Browning BAR in 7MM Mag. I started out with a 150 gr Sierra Gameking PSP.They worked really well. Then I switch to the Nosler Ballistic Tips. They worked even better. Only had one to run more than Ten steps, it ran 100 yards. I shot him at 250 yards standing looking at me. The Bullet entered in the center of his chest ( to which I was aiming ) and exited just in front of his right hind leg. With that 7 Mag I shot deer from every angle I could to get into the engine room and they all fell in ther tracks. I also have a .338 and have shot three deer with it. It puts a whole new meaning to drop dead. Why deer some time run when hit in the boiler room, I don't know. Maybe it is a strong will to live. EJBoy [/QUOTE]
