That will do it also but what really got my attention was I never ever had a gut shot deer only go 40 yards and when it dropped it was dead,no kicking no nothing.Usualy the deer will be on its side.This deer dropped straight down onto its belly dead.I try to make good shots but things happen sometimes.Branch,deer moves just as you shoot ect.The two of the does were hit right behind the front shoulder and went right over.One doe was hit a little high and went right over.

You are shooting a cartridge that has the capability of being a moderate range or more elk cartridge on hundred something pound deer.

years and years ago my go to bullet for deer in the 270 was a hornady 110 gr hp, a varmint bullet but you put one anywhere in front of the hams and they just wadded up like a wet dishrag, have learned a lot since.
