    Dont think it would matter what bullet at that sort of range would it. They are always going to knock holes in things when they are moving fast like that . Good result

    True - I haven't had a bang/flop yet but they don't go very far. (few steps).

    The instant hit the deck bang flop is just a bullet placement thing really, if the bullet hits any of the CNI areas, or spine its normally instantly down on the spot. Miss that by just a couple of inches and it may not be but as long as vital damage is done and say a shoulder broken it isnt going far before it dies.

    if you move point of aim forwards it will help in the bang flop thing....but yes most times a short run or few staggering steps is normal...

    I’ve always aimed at the crease behind the shoulder. I’ve welded a few to the spot with the 162 s @3040 FPS
