[QUOTE="KurtB, post: 1896932, member: 2106"] I had a bedded whitetail buck that was in a patch of yuccas at 360 yards. Took a rest off a fence post and only shot I had was right on the shoulder. 140 vld penciled in, left a bullet diameter hole in the meat up to the scapula, hit that and on back side of scapula was about a nickel sized hole and then it went to pieces and shredded the lungs. Lost maybe 4 ounces of shoulder meat. Busted a mountain goat shoulder to anchor it without rolling down a mountain, again 140 vld and very little meat lost. Just a couple of examples of shooting shoulders on purpose. No worries with a 140 vld 6.5 caliber. [/QUOTE]
