[QUOTE="Orange Dust, post: 2515904, member: 92702"] The RUM would have flattened him with SOME but not ALL bullets. If you has used a RUM and a bullet that had a large enough temporary wound channel to also have disrupted the spinal cord, DRT. Also, if the bullet has enough remaining velocity to turn the shoulder you hit into secondary projectiles you would get the picture I posted earlier, also DRT. Blew that deer in half by accidentally hitting a little bone on entry. I was shooting down on her. Hit just a tad high and hit the back of the scapular. She was also slightly quartering toward me at a little over 100. With the 190's its pretty much Thor's hammer on deer. So much so you have to be pretty careful where you hit them if dinner is the plan. That old 8MM flattened everything I ever got in front of it. Of course it had about 5000fpe so maybe it WAS Thor's hammer. It was spectacular hunting in knee deep water in green timber once I found the right bullet. With the wrong bullet it would completely destroy a deer. Set back pretty hard on the other end too. Was before brakes were popular. This was before the RUM was invented and performance was close to an Edge. Also was overloaded I suspect. Brass didn't last very long. We didn't know then what we know now. [/QUOTE]
