Once I shot a spruce hen with the 30-06-180 gr Silvertip.

All we found was one wing and a patch of skin w/ feathers, about 5 sq inches.

I aimed right for where the neck attached to the breast. At 15 yds the bullet hits right where it is aimed. I thought Id take the head off. I did but way more, also.
