    Hi Pete,
    Hilar zone, base of neck / front of shoulder. Last deer was a 2yr old hind at 50m, SST blew about a 30mm exit wound. Dead by the time I walked the 50m. I'd happily lung shoot too, if thats all that was on offer.

    Sounds good mate, at 50m I can imagine it making a decent hole. The Hilar zone is exactly the shot placement where my son has been practicing on goats but like I say we haven't shot a deer yet with that load. He shot a decent sized Billy at around 200m and dropped him on the spot.
