I've only hunted with a 7mm-08 for the past 30 years. Not sure of the total number, but it has been quite a few. I aim for the lungs and want pass-throughs for the blood trail, but sometimes they just drop.

The ones I'm thinking of drop, legs curl up under them, and they're done. No high shoulder, no spine, but for some reason...down.

Bang flops are about bullet placement
Just Above center shoulder
You will get it about 95% of the time even w a 243

 

[Griswold]

Every caliber i use, because its high shoulder shots for me, any thing else is unacceptable!

 

[Volbuck777]

30-06

Same


Unless I bust the cns I've never had a deer drop. I've used .243, 260, 708, 7x30, 3030, 3006, 35 rem, 358 win, 375 win, 45/70 and probably a few more I'm forgetting.


Cns hits fold, not cns shots I get a 25-100yd run.


Where you hit them matters more than what you hit them with.

 

[rem270]

High shoulder shots for me. Have used .243, .270, 7mm08, 30-30, and .308. Out of those calibers for some reason I have a hard time dropping them with the .308. I've never lost a deer with a .308 and all have fell in sight but hasn't dropped them in their tracks. I shot my buck with my .270 this year and he never moved a muscle after I shot.

 

[deerhunter10]

The most 270. But with a 270, 3006, 7mm08, 2506, 7mm, 308. All are capable. All about shot placement for it.

 

[nso123]

High shoulder shots cause the bang flop for me.

 

[Griswold]

I've never lost a deer with a .308 and all have fell in sight but hasn't dropped them in their tracks. I shot my buck with my .270 this year and he never moved a muscle after I shot.

That little fella i killed other day, 130 grain scirroco out of the 270 at 170 yards, never twitched just crumpled

What calibers have you had the most bang flops with on whitetail

Browning bar 300 win mag , bullet Remington extended range 190 gr. Boat tail, not sure how long they made that round.
Bang-smash-flop, go pick up half the deer you shot , other half is just gone!

X2 . It's all about placement .

X2 .243 has the most for me.

 

[backyardtndeer]

308 with hand loaded 178 grain eldx.

 

[TN Larry]

I've killed with a bunch of different calibers from ,243 to 7mag. Most would probably be with a 30/06 but only because I've killed more deer with it. I agree with shot placement being the biggest factor but 2 for 2 bang flops on 243 kills.

 

[arctic_cat]

30/06

I agree 100%. That's my point of aim when avialable. I'd rather not have to track if possible. High shoulder and they don't take a step.
