[QUOTE="JustMe2, post: 2665130, member: 42494"] Drebs, what ruins meat is hiting bone which causes many bullets to break apart going many different directions in the animal destroying a lot of meat. This is why all of these posts are telling you to shoot behind the shoulder and not ON the shoulder, or hip with the many suggested bullet weights. Aim up the back of the front leg in the crease and about 1/3 up from the brisket and pretty much any bullet (except varmint bullets) will not damage much meat. The ribs don’t have much meat. That's really the only rule, use whatever bullet blows up your skirt and you will be just fine. If you mess up and hit a shoulder or hip, a mono bullet will usually cause the least meat loss because they don't disintegrate. [/QUOTE]
