But was it a bang-flop hit in the boiler room, or a neck/head shot?

Bang flop. Straight through the pump station.

Thread stayed on topic pretty well . I figured we be back quick to the head shot, heart shot stuff pretty quick. For the record I'm a double lung shot kinda guy....

Hammer tried...I didn't bite this time though.
Bout time someone else shoots the deer in the right spot.

Easy hoss. Three Leggs tried. Hammer just brought some facts to the table.

I however am trying decide on my load (30-06). Right now the gun is sighted in for 125gr soft points. The gun loves the rounds and shoots 2 inch groups at 300 yards with them, and they made quick work on my 'lope.
The tables show that the federal 125 makes 2200 ft/lbs @ 100 yds; 1600 @ 250yds; and 1150ft/lbs @ 400 yds, is that going to be enough energy for Texas whitetail? or should I track down some 150 grainers and re-zero?
