[QUOTE="LVJ76, post: 1735372, member: 108965"] Mentioned before is the SST, this is an awesome bullet when used correctly. The 139gr on the 7mm-08 is a fast killer, most are DRT kills. For the 7mm Rem Mag the 154gr SST works great but the 162gr is a whole different ball game, fast killer indeed. Bullet placement is #1 thing, but the bullet also plays a large role. I've seen partitions pencil through when no bone or hard muscle is hit, I put 3 rounds through the lungs of a coues deer for it to go down, literally pencil size holes. Softer bullets drop their energy inside the animal and sometimes dont exit, but usually those animals dont go far if they even go anywhere. Shoulder shots is a way to anchor an animal right away, but there goes a large chunk of meat. Lung shots with the right bullet will also drop the animal, but a tough bullet will delay death a bit and in some cases cause a lost animal. Some light bullets will blow up at magnum speeds so heavier is better. For Mono's is best to use lighter that get pushed faster to ensure expansion After all that talk, it simply depends on what bullet we pick, and which ever we choose we must do our best to put it where it's supposed to go.
