No matter what gun you have in your hands there is NO guarantee the animal will drop on the spot unless you hit it in the head or the spine.
I have never in my life aimed form an off side shoulder. If it was between me and the lungs, it was coincidence.
Fwiw, at 175yds I think both a 35 or a 6.5 bullet that is well constructed would be able to make that shot without a problem.
Good enough?
And I'd rather do it with a 6.5 with less recoil!
