[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 233358, member: 8843"] what Roy said , if thats what your set on shooting then thats what your gonna shoot. are their better choices , yes , will that bullet kill yes are their more risk , yes. If I were you I'd shoot a 175gr Match King , its got better ballistics a bit more sectional density (longer) which will help keep it from blowing up. as long as you don't try to shoot from the back end and expect to get to the lungs then you should be ok , that front shoulder will likely be a bad shot though it MIGHT anchor the animal from spine shock but I would not rely on the high shoulder shot for a meat animal. Put it through her lungs and you should be fine [/QUOTE]
