[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 869109, member: 10291"] Hunting whitetails, particularly an older buck in the rut in my view makes them a trickier target than other game.under field conditions at 500 yards. They move around a lot, not giving lots of time. Add wind, dusk or dawn, etc, at the longer ranges I prefer a broadside behind the shoulder mid height chest shot. At that range with a 308/30-06 I have had good success anywhere within 5" of that POA with a 165 SST or Ballistic Tip. For me it has proven give some margin for error and be a high percentage kill shot. At 500 yards where velocity drops to the 2000FPS range,these bullets expand well, penetrate, and apply their energy. [/QUOTE]
