I shot my first Roe over the weekend with a mates .243. About 70yds and almost a broadside shot. It didn't run on and dropped within about 15secs of me hitting it. When we gralloched it the bullet had entered about 2" over and to the right of the heart as I was making sure I'd miss it's left leg. The bullet missed the heart, smashed the lungs to pieces, then "ricocheted" along the ribs on the other side, popping out the other side after it'd run out of ribs and gone through the diaphragm taking a kidney and bursting the liver on it's merry way.......I'm shocked as I thought it'd punch straight through in almost a straight line, but pleased that I dropped my first deer even though I couldn't breathe and felt like I was having a heart attack
