.243 - 87gn or 75gn v max not shot a huge number of roe by some peoples standards but enough to form an opinion, i would say 90-95% of roe i have shot from 40 - 250 yds + have dropped on the spot be it neck or h/l shots.
Yes before anyone jumps in they will cause a varying degree of meat damage maybe more than some others, if the carcass is for home im not bothered about some bruising to the ribs.
If im selling the venison i will neck shoot if poss with a good rest, if not i will leave if for another day. DF
