Walks with fire
54 Cal.
Does anyone here aim for the shoulder on whitetails with a .50 patched ball. I have never tried it yet but for some odd reason I have this desire to bust my next whitetail square in the shoulder to see if there is enough power to break the shoulder and put it down right away. For whatever reason I seem to be questioning myself if that would be a poor idea.
So; does anyone here do it on purpose? Has anyone made a hit there by mistake and if so how did it turn out. I have always aimed for the vital area behind the front shoulder. I did hit one in the spine one year and it was down and out right now. Keep in mind I am asking about a .490 patched ball; my load is 80 grains 2f Goex.
