I shot into a roadkill doe with a 2506 and a 90 gr cxp1 positive expanding at 70 paces. 1 into the ribs 1 in the shoulders and 1 iun the neck. Mind you the meat was not good on this kill when found. The rib shot exited with about a 4" hole. The neck hit damn near cut off the head as the bullet smacked the spine but the shoulder shot the bullet was stopped bone fragments punched thru the chest cavity though. There wasn't much left of the shoulder and I'm sure the force would have taken it down for a 2nd shot. So with the right shot placement its doable. I shot 2 mangy yotes off that roadkill the next night

That is my response too. I do not understand the desire to use such unsuitable tools for any job. No one shingles a roof with a tack hammer, even though, in theory, if everything goes right, it could be done.
What is it that makes so many want to use ultra-light frangible bullets that must be "well placed" (read that perfectly placed) in order to work well? I can only assume it is a result of not having hunted enough to know for certain that no one can place every shot perfectly.
Hey, I just invented a cool saying. "Use enough bullet." Think it will catch on?
The truth is more animals have been wounded and lost because of poor bullet choice than have been lost because of poor caliber choice.
