Thread: Bullet Placement, where is your sweet spot?

I always go for the middle of the shoulder with the 243. Its a proven fact that the best perforance out of a 243 round is where you hit bone.
Never lost one animal yet after being hit with the 243 so esp in the bush its a great killing round on deer, pigs and bigger animals like stags.
In saying that ive still shot a few in the neck and behind the shoulder when i started out.
Sometimes behind the shoulder the deer will run a few yards, sometimes 50 and fall over dead. Not one has got more than 10 yards with a shot in the shoulder thou . Last two deer ive shot have been neck shots but the biggest percentage of shots are shoulder shots.
Not only does it work, but most shots are free standing and miles from car so not carriying the whole anaimal out and in the bush you like them to bang drop and shoulder shots do that.
Fed powershoks are awesome (100gr). Using the Rem corelolts in the 308 thou
