[QUOTE="Salar600, post: 731053, member: 54216"] I like and want DRT kill (no big deal if they do a step or 2 thought). I want minimal meat lost so my prefered shot is broadside, an inch behind the shoulder. In both cases damages were quite minimal. first kill was broad side shot like I want, 50yds, exit hole max 1 inch. After this kill I tought bullet might be to strong and to fast so that's why it just pencil in. This caribou run for over 100yds pomping blood everywhere. The year before same shoot with my -06 and SST150g as been a DRT kill (bullet staid inside). For the second kill, I decided to take a quatering in shot at the jonction of the neck and shoulder, bullet exit in the off side shoulder. Shot was ± 150yds. Internal damages a bit bether, but honestly can't remind exactly. The caribou didn't go to far being a 3x4 but still 40-50yds. Again I think speed and strong construction doesn't match for this caliber and animal size. Might do better in stronger animal? Caribous are light frame animals and weight approx 175lbs. Event thought I didn't like me experience whit this particular bullet/cartridge combo, I am an Hornady fan, I shoot SST bullets and like them more then the 154IB. I'm using 130g and 150g in a 270WSM, 150g for my -06 and 180 in my 300Wby Hope this help, best of luck. [/QUOTE]
