[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3065329, member: 15054"] This deer dressed out at 70 lbs and it pummeled both shoulders, left a lot of blood clotted meat damage. I got one with the 30-06 with 155Amax through both shoulders one shoulder was completely ruined and the entrance shoulder was part salvageable. The 30-06 there was NO bullet parts found and it sprayed blood and hair on the exit side of the deer where it stood. It made it 25 yards before piling up. I prefer to hit them in the neck with explosive acting bullets.. but knowing your limits on shot placement and sometimes you need to take the shoulder..or I like just hitting the crease behind the shoulder. Cant get all deer and all situations to cooperate sometimes. The 55gr V-Max is much more explosive and you do not find anything but shrapnel in deer. I will say every one I hit with the V-Max fell on the spot. This tougher 55gr SP allowed the deer to make it 60 yards before piling up. Some deer do not know when to die though.. This is the first we have killed with the SP 55 gr bullet. I was told it is a tougher bullet and this one test may confirm that.. More testing will happen. [/QUOTE]
