You dont have to hit the spine just shock it and you will with a high lung shot, by the time they recover they have already bled out.

Thanks for that...I had thought the high shoulder shot intended to damage the spine as it comes in low thru the shoulders.
Suddenly the target is a lot bigger and effective.

Thanks stug for your input. This info makes me think I need to get the Rem Mag. If nothing else its the humane thing to do.

Will a can let me spot my own shots or do I need the Terminater brake?

I can spot my own shots with a can on my 284 but if my technique isnt perfect i wont see it.

A 162-168 projectile at 3050-3100fps does produce more recoil than most shooters can manage effectively enough to spot their own shots even with a suppressor.

A good muzzle brake will being the recoil back down to much more manageable level.

A T2 Terminator muzzle brake will bring the recoil down to around a mild .243 load or less.

The downside is good hearing protection has to be used, there are no free lunches.

Yep i cant garauntee ill spot my shots but if i get it all right i see it easy. 162s @ 2955

That is tramping out of a 284

if your shooting out past 800 you shouldnt have any trouble spotting your shots infact just as you regain the sight picture it will be hitting the target thats without a break on a sako 85 finlight throwing 162's.but yes you gotta have hearing protection so you can hear the rugby.

Thanks everyone...brilliant info
