[QUOTE="R700MR, post: 433722, member: 19847"] I recently shot an antelope doe with a 105 amax of my 6x47 Lapua. Range was 240 yards. She was bedded and quartered to me. The bullet placement was good for a heart/lung shot, but apparently blew up after hitting the heavy bone in the lower portion shoulder. I had to shoot her a second time. The Amaxes shoot great and bullet placement on the bone was my fault. I'm not sure if bullet or bone fragments entered the chest cavity and would have killed her in a short time or not. I chose to shoot a second time and put her down. I have confidence in them. A second antelope I shot was a buck at 271 yards. He was broadside. At the shot he reared up on his hind legs and fell over stone dead. The shot was not a high shoulder but through the front lower portion of the chest and the meaty part of the front shoulder. In this case penetration was good (no large bones got in the way). BK [/QUOTE]
