[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 226599, member: 313"] Last year I shot 6 deer in N. Carolina. Range was out to 470yds. I was shooting a 7STW with the 162gr A-Max bullet. I have always taken traditional broadside lung shots in the past but decided to try the "high shoulder shot" just to see the terminal performance for myself. Every deer hit with this shot was DRT, vertical drop. The bullets did not exit. It became apparent that even a frangible bullet like the A-Max is quite deadly with the high shoulder shot and premium bonded or mono-metal bullet are not needed. At least not for whitetails. Yeah - there was more meat ruined than you would get with a lung shot but when you have 6+ deer, who cares. None of the deer took more than 1 step and potential loss was eliminated. Just my limited experience with this shot placement. [/QUOTE]
