[QUOTE="OldElkHunter1961, post: 2597747, member: 121205"] Honestly If you put nearly anything through both lungs or through the juncture of the heart lung region you'll have a dead critter shortly. I've killed elk, bear, deer and goats (in Wyoming antelope are referred to as goats) with bullets as frangible/soft as SGK's and NBT's and as tough as TSX's and NPT's to include Keith bullets I poured from "hardball." My biggest bullet concerns have been failure to expand and/or over penetration. My stands are on trails that the herd passes between feeding and bedding. Even using SGK's trying to limit pass through I've failed to recover many bullets having had full penetration. I'm very careful to watch for a second set of legs sprinting up next to my target animal on the off-side and haven't hit any "by-standers" to date. But there's always the chance. [/QUOTE]
