Congrats on the kill and the marksmanship. I personally see nothing wrong with taking an animal with a small round if you are confident of your round and ability. I have to ask though why you chose the 55gr bullet instead of a larger 70+ grainer? Personal preference or a previous experience? Both of my shoulders are shot after 4 surgeries and no success and I have been contemplating a smaller caliber for larger game hunting as well.
