[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1991904, member: 10178"] This may be true with that perfect broadside shot into the ribs. But it is not true if one hits a shoulder or has to put a bullet through at an angle. I have seen deer that have been hit with high velocity lite constructed bullets in the ribs and it exploded on the hide and only fragged the onside lung and the deer have ran for ever. If dogs were not allowed to be used to trail them up they would have been lost. I have also seen 100 gr Nosler BT running around 3600 fps at muzzle out of my hunting buddies 264 Win Mag just blow the onside shoulder to pulp on a couple 80ish pound doe at around 100 yards and require a second shot to kill them. We did crop damage control on a big farm, my buddie for 30 and I for 15 of those years and we got to experiment with a lot of bullets and calibers to find what worked and what did not. [/QUOTE]
