[QUOTE="SMK1000plus, post: 1651612, member: 93846"] If you hit the spine above the shoulder, they are always boom-flop but, I have made center of shoulder shots with a flat based 180gr Remington Core-Lokt from a 22" barrel 30-06 that have left them DRT. Those bullets were barely moving 1,700 fps at the 450 yards impact range. I've also on multiple occasions, shot them with 180gr Accu-Bond 300 Win Mag moving at over 2,700 fps at impact, right through both shoulders at under 100 yards, turning their heart and lungs to jelly, and had them run over 150 yards before dropping! I've had boom-flops (DRT) from all kinds of centerfire cartridges at over 200 yards, 243 Win, 25-06, 270 Win, 7mm-08, 7mm Rem Mag, 308 Win, 30-06, 300 Win Mag, even one with a 77gr 223 Rem shoulder shot on a 250+ lbs buck. I've also had lots of 50 yard to 100 yard shoulder shots with those same cartridges where the deer ran well over 50 yards before dropping. The only guaranteed boom-flop I've found, regardless of impact velocity, has been an upper-end central nervous system (CNS) hit but, I have definitely seen a much higher number of DRT center shoulder shot deer, with higher velocity bullet impacts.
