[QUOTE="memtb, post: 2747288, member: 75451"] Teri Anne, I can assure you, that a high velocity low caliber round placed “behind“ the shoulder, through the ribs will make a significantly larger bloodshot area than will a much slower moving large caliber bullet! There is absolutely no argument that ribs are not of “prime rib” quality meat. However, should that shot be errant from the high velocity bullet….it doesn’t “mysteriously” lose it’s tendency/ability to create bloodshot meat! Anyone that has enjoyed hunting for years, especially those hunting in thick brush/timber, knows and has experienced shots that do not hit ”picture book” perfect behind the shoulder at a 90 degree angle to the animal with every shot taken. If they can honestly say that they haven’t made less than perfect shot placement….they’ve passed on a lot of shots that would have put meat in the freezer! While not the perfect, desired outcome…..I’d rather lose a bit of meat than lose the entire animal! JMO memtb [/QUOTE]
