[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 4171358, member: 15054"] I hit a buck high shoulder with my 20.5" barrel .308 and 178 A-Max. I was higher than the deer and at 225 yards. Both shoulders ruined no front tenderloins and some of the back strap ruined and many inches of neck meat ruined. Bullet exited with a huge hole on the off side. Dropped on the spot though. Next time I used that same 178 A-Max load was a doe staring at me at 15 yards . Shot it through the neck. She fell over backwards all 4 legs straight up in the air stiff. It unzipped the hide from the base of the skull to the shoulder blades. My buddy thought I cut the hide with my knife. Perfect straight line. No edible neck meat. I stopped using that 178 A-Max. Just tore up too much meat but really put the kill on them and made me think this may be an excellent elk bullet. I have struck out this year so far. But I have found many Oyster Mushrooms and a buddy found a Lions Mane and gave me some of it [/QUOTE]
