I've been to my orthopedic Dr. and he tells me that I have a pretty bad torn rotator cuff in my right (shooting) shoulder that needs surgery to correct. I can not take any more surgeries mentally, 7 in the past 9 years, so I had him give me a steroid shot and am going to start physical therapy to prolong the problem. I need to find a lighter bullet for my .50 cal Accura for this year to deer hunt to cut down the recoil and the punishment on my shoulder. Has anyone used a 180gr XTP or maybe a 200gr Flex-tip with good success? I know that the 300gr XTP will stop 'em in their tracks because that's what I've used to take 2 deer in the past 2 years. I need to do everything possible to reduce recoil without giving up too much stopping power. I don't even know if going to a lighter bullet would reduce recoil that much but if there's a chance I need to try and I can't afford to buy a bunch of different lighter bullets to find out, although I dearly would love to try, so I'm hoping someone has already tried. Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions.
