Thread: 7mm RM in the bush?

Recently upsized from .270 to 7mm RM. Rifle is full 24inch legnth + suppressor so designed for tops hunting as intended. However, this weekend there is a chance the weather will force us to head into the beech for some bush stalking. I'm a bit worried that the 7mm RM at 10-20m is going to fly right through the deer and risk it running off before it drops. Am I being paranoid?

FYI I'm using 168gr Federal Berger Hybrid rounds. Do I just aim for front shoulder to make sure I get some bone contact to ensure expansion of the bullet?
