All other things being equal, I, too, think that larger diameter bullets stop them more quickly.

The best place to shoot a deer is 100 yds from the truck, closer the better. The worst place to shoot a deer is on a canyon rim opposite of the one your on. The best place to shoot larger animals, moose,elk is in your neighbors back yard, and the worst place is in the middle of a pond or river. |

I like the lungs/heart right behind the shoulder. I have shot a shoulder going it, ruined a lot of meat. Dead deer. Hit the shoulder going out, ruined a lot of meat. Dead dear. Hit both shoulders, ruined even more meat. Dead deer. Shot behind both shoulders, no ruined meat. Dead deer.
Last year I hit my elk both lungs at 432 yards with my 300 WM, 190 gr BTSP @ 2980 or so. He dropped got up, went thirty yards, and dropped. If I can help it, I will not shoot the shoulders. I hate butchering around the damage and they all end up dead anyway.

Lets suppose the deer is oriented such that you can only hit one lung. Where do you place your shots in that circumstance?
